Any work-related injury can be a stressful event. Timely reporting of a work-related injury is critical so a medical case manager can be assigned and help you obtain the best possible care.
If your employer has chosen Health Management Solutions as their Managed Care Organization (MCO) for work-related injuries, a case manager will notify you immediately after receiving notice of your injury. That case manager will walk you through the steps necessary for recovery. You case manager will also be available to work with you, your Provider, and your employer through out your recovery period.
There are several steps that are vital to your treatment, recovery, and appropriate return to work:
- Immediate reporting of the injury
- Selection of an appropriate Provider
- Continual contact with your medical case manager
- Continual contact with your employer
