CASE MANAGER CORNER

Appointment/Document Request

Case Manager Hotline: 866-COMPINJ (866-266-7465)

As orthopaedic surgeons treating an injured worker, we are asked to evaluate causality and document our opinion as to the relationship between the patient’s presenting symptoms and whether the reported work accident caused the resulting injury. A good history is critical, along with guided questioning about the presenting injury. The patient’s answers to “what happened”, “what were you doing when you were injured”, and “describe what it felt like”, all help to determine the mechanism of injury.

At each and every orthopaedic examination and evaluation,
the physician is obligated to:

Obtain a good history stressing the mechanism of injury
Determine the working diagnosis with clinical exam
Review X-Ray and other studies
Render an opinion regarding causality
Determine the work restriction, if any
Work with the case manager and the injured worker to return to work as soon as possible.

Arrange to send our typed, custom Quick Note that day (with a follow-up detailed office note within 24-48 hours of the visit)
