Some of you may have a nurse case manager assigned to you by the insurance company. They are hired by the insurance company to maintain communication between the adjuster and the healthcare providers. This nurse follows your treatment plan by attending your appointments and contacting all of your doctors. They are assigned to help coordinate healthcare and speed the process from when you are injured to when you can return to work either full-time or part-time. They are also there to control costs. Reducing costs can be detrimental to your health. These managers would like to minimize costs by getting you back to work as soon as possible, even if you or your doctor feel you are not capable of returning fully to work. A nurse case manager is not your advocate when care has been denied. Please let us know as soon as possible if a nurse case manager has been assigned to your case. After we have been retained, we can decline his or her care for your case. You can then get the full extent of the care you need to help get you back to work and to life.
