Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
Financial Information: Worker's Compensation
Our worker's compensation program has been designed to provide quality care to patients,
reduce the time spent out of work, and minimize permanent disabilities. Our surgeons and
staff are dedicated to coordinating the care for worker's compensation patients. Our goal
is to communicate effectively with the case managers by promptly providing complete
information and responding quickly to any questions or concerns. Our surgeons, working
together with the patient and case manager, attempt to introduce the patient back to work
as early as medically possible. The surgeons will often encourage light-duty or modified
job responsibilities in support of the case manager's effort to re-establish the patient
into the workforce.
For the Case Manager/Claims Adjuster
** We are dedicated to improving our service to you. Please fill out our Worker's
Compensation Case Manager survey today! **
We value your time and make every effort to ensure the visit process is as efficient as
possible. Please introduce yourself at our reception area so that we may notify the doctor
of your arrival.
After each visit you will receive:
- a summary office note with diagnosis
- updated treatment plan
- work status
- next appointment date
All notes should be available for review within three business days of the appointment.
For Case Managers/Claims Adjusters/Utilization Review Nurses/Employers
Our physicians are more than willing to prepare an inservice at your location on orthopaedic injuries and
treatment options. If you are interested in scheduling an inservice, please contact Joanne Garcia at
Joanne.Garcia@bmc.org with your contact information and topic requests.
