Your workers’ compensation specialty questions answered.

What are best practices for safely charging medical devices to prevent overheating?

Medical devices such as hearing aids, electrical stimulation devices, sleep apnea machines, glucose monitors and insulin pumps play a crucial role in injured employee care and wellness. However, understanding how to safely charge these devices is essential to prevent the risks of overheating, which can lead to fires, minor injuries or even serious burns. Failure to properly maintain and use these devices can lead to costly replacements and potential gaps in treatment or care an injured employee may need.

Which type of hearing aid is best for my injured employee?

With advancements in technology and design, a wide range of hearing aid options are available to suit diverse hearing needs and preferences, including helping to restore hearing abilities due to conduction or nerve damage. By understanding the different types of hearing aids, their features, and benefits, claims professionals can work with injured employees, their treating physician and case manager to select the most appropriate solution tailored to their unique hearing needs and lifestyle preferences.

Should an MRI be the first step in addressing work-related lower back pain injuries?

The U.S. health care system wastes an estimated $750 billion annually, with $200 billion attributed to overuse or unnecessary services. In workers' compensation, physical therapy can account for up to 20% of medical costs, making it crucial to ensure appropriateness and quality to manage claim costs effectively.

How can working with a specialty solutions provider ensure best possible results on a catastrophic injury claim?

Workers’ compensation catastrophic injuries occur with relatively low frequency. However, when they do happen, you want a partner who can holistically address the needs of the claim. Catastrophic claims require coordination of sophisticated medical care, rehabilitation, specialty services, home care and even personal assistance when the injured employee returns home.

What are the most common work-from-home injuries and how are they treated?

In today’s remote and hybrid work environments, accidents are on the rise. The most common injuries plaguing employees are in the back, shoulders, hands and wrists. These injuries often result from overuse and improper workstation setup.

How does hospital discharge planning contribute to a successful transition home?

Prior to leaving the hospital, injured employees need a well-organized plan to ensure a successful transition home. This plan should include arrangements for essential services like durable medical equipment (DME), home health care, transportation and diagnostic services, especially in cases involving complex injuries.
