For Employers
“Despite rigorous efforts to control costs and prevent accidents, employers still are seeing staggering premium increases.” – Workforce Management
This quote is from an article written in 2002 – but things haven’t gotten any better, as you know. Workers compensation can be one of the biggest headaches (and expenses) in your business. And, that’s even before you account for lost worker productivity.
Almost 40% of workers compensation dollars are consumed by administrative overhead. A typical injury requires treatment from 6 to 12 weeks until maximum medical improvement (MMI) is reached. The current system require that each time a patient has an office visit or physical therapy (PT) treatment, a separate approval is needed. This can amount to 30-40 approvals needed for one patient’s treatment. To further complicate things, treatment plans for the same injury are different not only from clinic to clinic, but from different physicians in the same practice.
As a result, you may often be uncertain about when your employees can return to work and in what capacity over the time of the treatment.
Protohit provides a single approval protocol treatment system for use by Healthcare providers, who can in turn provide you better service and information. By cutting waste in administrative processes and unnecessary treatments, clinics increase productivity and profitability. In past trials we found that patient visits decrease by 40% while achieving MMI in the same or quicker times. Total costs decreased by 15%.
