RETURN TO WORK SUPPORT
We focus on return to work as soon as a claim is opened. A Return to Work Program outlining the employee’s capabilities and limitations is developed for review and implementation. By setting expectations around return to work and laying out the process, we set the groundwork for expedited Return to Work success for both the employer and the employee.

Each Case Manager has a toll free direct telephone number, so they can be reached by both the employee or the employer. We ensure the employer is always made aware of a change to case status and when to expect an employee to return to modified or full duties. Our software allows each employer to view the real-time status of open and closed cases and allows for detailed reporting.
