Helping You Resolve Claims Faster

Right now, your program is reactive:

• Claims drift off their expected recovery path without early detection
• Workers are removed from work for non-essential medical reasons
• Clinical notes and treatment plans go unchallenged
• Litigation becomes the primary escalation tool

By the time a claim is labeled “high risk,” the outcome is already set.

We run the medical strategy for your entire workers’ compensation program.

Most employers think medical oversight means reviewing a handful of complex claims once they’re already broken.

That’s not oversight — that’s triage.

Real oversight means governing every claim, from Day 1, so they never become complex in the first place.

We are not a vendor. We are your medical leadership team.

A worker sustained a low back injury, leading to a severely herniated disc. Surgery was required but there were multiple complications along the recovery journey, leading to claim costs of over $462,000. Claim costs were expected to surpass $700,000 over the worker’s lifetime and a reserve amount of $1 million was set.  Within three weeks of applying our strategies, utilization review overturned their repeated denial, allowing the worker to receive the secondary surgery she needed. With her eventual return to sedentary work, the employer saved approximately $1 million.

A worker sustained a knee sprain, an injury typically expected to heal within four to twelve weeks. However, the claim remained unresolved for over one year. Within two months of applying our strategies, the claim was closed, saving the employer approximately $17,870.

A worker sustained an ankle sprain, an injury typically expected to heal within six weeks. However, the claim remained unresolved for over six months. Within two months of applying our strategies, the claim was closed, saving the employer approximately $23,401.

Most employers don’t lose money on workers’ comp because of catastrophic injuries.

They lose it because:

• simple claims stay open too long
• unnecessary treatment goes unchallenged
• recovery timelines are never established
• physicians are never guided
• and minor injuries quietly evolve into six-figure liabilities

In this free webinar, Harvard-trained occupational medicine physician and former U.S. Air Force Flight Surgeon Dr. Leslie Cadet breaks down the exact physician-led strategies large employers are using to reduce unnecessary spend, close claims faster, and prevent high-risk cases from spiraling out of control.

You’ll learn:

• Why some “routine” claims become catastrophic
• How to identify red flags before costs escalate
• The medical oversight mistakes costing employers millions
• How recovery timelines accelerate claim closure
• What top-performing organizations do differently
• How physician-to-physician intervention changes outcomes

This is not theory. These are real-world strategies used across thousands of claims.

Ideal for:

• Self-insured employers
• Risk managers
• TPAs
• HR leaders
• Claims professionals
• Safety professionals
• Legal Teams
• Brokers

If your organization has employees, this webinar will change the way you look at workers’ comp.
