Medical Management

Injured workers want and need assistance.

By applying managed-care techniques to workers' compensation losses, AmeriHealth Casualty Services addresses the costs, frequency and appropriateness of care. We obtain the earliest, medically appropriate return-to-work date for your injured workers.

Our Case Managers will:

• Review hospital admissions immediately upon assignment, and all other files within 48 hours (7 days a week)
• Review the injury sustained and verify diagnosis and treatment plan with the treating physician
• Discuss any work restrictions or limitations with the treating physician
• Maintain contact with the injured worker throughout the course of the claim
• Provide ongoing medical and work status updates to the employer
• Coordinate activities with the adjuster assigned to the file
• Refer cases to a medical specialist for independent medical evaluation and a second surgical opinion
