Workers’ compensation claims can pose a massive risk for businesses, especially when they involve severe injuries and long-term illnesses. Often, business owners have to deal with increased medical costs as well as hiring and training replaced employees, adjusting schedules and investigating the incident.
Our team of qualified workers’ compensation experts at Direct PT/DX help business owners save time and money while simultaneously boosting employee morale and satisfaction by maintaining communication, creating quick turnaround times and much more.
Here are just a few of the benefits of taking a team approach to workers’ compensation alongside a medical provider network like Direct PT/DX.
Reduced Employer Workload
Workers’ comp claims involve a myriad of administrative tasks. For employers, these can often fall through the cracks, especially as other workplace emergencies arise. Our team takes those tasks off the plate of business owners and human resource departments, allowing more time and energy to be spent on other items and to ensure that tasks are completed in a timely manner.
Control of Cost
On average, our team is able to save our clients in excess of 65% off billed charges and 31% off state fee schedules. This is due to the relationships that we have with doctors, therapists and other healthcare professionals all across the country. We also help decrease costs by providing swift access to medical care, which gets injured employees back in the office sooner and safer.
Quick Turnaround Times
Medical scheduling is one of the administrative tasks involved with workers’ comp that often falls on the employer. This aspect of the process is difficult and extremely time consuming. At Direct PT/DX, we set up appointments between the injured employee and medical service providers, allowing our clients to focus on their regular job duties and for the injured employee to get prompt medical care.
Access to Quality Medical Care
Our team is well-connected in the healthcare space, giving us access to top-notch medical services for all injured and sick employees we work with. This can help reduce litigation claims, provide employees with seamless access to appointments and help them return to work quickly.
Consistent & Timely Communication
Direct PT/DX also serves as liaison between employees and medical care providers which creates a consistent and timely steam of communication. This is most helpful in getting employees healthy and where they need to be to go back to work.
