How Our Workers’ Comp Program Works
Step 1: The injured worker is seen for initial evaluation — same-day or next-day appointments are available for acute injuries.
Step 2: Diagnostic workup including physical examination, on-site X-ray, and advanced imaging as needed.
Step 3: Treatment plan development and authorization coordination with the workers’ comp carrier.
Step 4: Treatment execution — physical therapy, pain management, specialist evaluation, or surgical referral.
Step 5: Ongoing status reporting, return-to-work planning, and, when applicable, impairment rating at maximum medical improvement.
