When an employee is hurt on the job, it’s challenging not only for that worker but for everyone involved. As the employer, you need to file the workers’ compensation claim, plus manage everything related to the injury and accident. It can be tough, costly and time-consuming.
Advantages of Urgent Care Providers
Many employers seek out an occupational medicine provider to help them navigate their workers’ compensation claims. On the surface, the decision of who to choose can seem straightforward, since most providers offer the same basic services.
However, occupational health providers can vary widely when it comes to their approach—meaning one can take actions that result in dollars lost, while another provider can save significant costs.
So how can an employer make a wise decision? The key is to look beyond basic requirements.
· Occupational health providers who work under the umbrella of an urgent care organization are not only qualified to diagnose and deliver patient care, they are trained to do it as safely, swiftly and efficiently as possible.
· These providers regularly perform many of the procedures that are commonly caused by workplace injuries. Examples include soft tissue foreign body removal, eye foreign body removal, joint dislocation treatment, and fracture care.
· They are accustomed to seeing high volumes of patients. This allows them to become highly skilled at case discernment so they may be more apt to notice if a worker is exhibiting inappropriate behavior in relation to the injury.
Questions to Ask and Consider
Below are a couple of questions to ask if you are looking for an occupational medicine program or if your current one is not meeting your needs.
- Will the provider be able to treat work-related injuries themselves versus referring them out to specialists or the emergency room?
- Do they have significant experience performing the procedures that typically come up at your organization? (and save you time and money by taking care of procedures by themselves)
