COST EFFICIENCY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME

In workers' compensation the goal of medical case management is to assist the injured worker in obtaining appropriate medical care, reach maximum medical improvement, and return to work at the earliest possible time.  The process requires objective assessment, planning, organizing, coordination, referral and monitoring of the services required to respond to an injured worker's health care needs. 


WHEN IS REFERRAL INDICATED?

*Length of disability exceeds
  physician's initial estimate.

*Non-specific diagnosis in excess of
  90 days.
