Consistent Communication Crucial to Effective Case Management

At Scott & White we know that one of the most crucial elements of work-related injury management involves continual communication with the employer, employee and the insurance carrier.

A Scott & White Case Manager will follow and track your injured employee throughout the medical treatment process. The case manager will keep you informed about every visit to Scott & White, your employee's return to work status, work restrictions and treatment progress.

Your work-related ill or injured employee receives a Work Status Form after each visit. A copy of this form is then mailed or faxed to you to keep you fully updated on the employee’s condition and work abilities. The case manager, physician, or physician's assistant may call your company contact with a report or to get clarification on modified work availability. The case manager will also call the employee periodically to assess their progress. This allows us to determine whether there are any unresolved issues that may prevent the employee from returning to full work status. A report will be made to you to keep you fully updated on the employee's status.

Scott & White makes caring for a work-related injury as convenient as possible. If your employee needs immediate care, just send them directly to one of the many area Scott & White Clinics for treatment. Our clinics are equipped to handle injuries and allows you to avoid using expensive, time consuming emergency rooms for routine work-related injuries. We can treat any employee except for life-threatening situations that require emergency room care.

Your employees are expedited through the system because we understand the disruption caused by having an employee waiting for hours to be seen and treated. Your employee will be off the job for the minimum amount of time for treatment. The Scott & White physicians and physician's assistants who staff these clinics will know your company's protocols in advance, and will work with you to return an employee to modified or full duty.

To help ensure your supervisors know where to go for treatment, we can provide each of your supervisors with a wallet-sized card that lists each of our Occupational Medicine Clinics and their phone numbers.
