Medical Case Management

Medical case managers at Hostetler-Fontaine & Associates are active members of the medical treatment team. Our objective is to provide comprehensive medical management services goal oriented toward returning the injured worker to work as soon as reasonably possible. This has proven time and again to be best for the injured worker and the most cost-efficient process.

The registered nurse or certified case manager will act as a liaison between injured worker, insurer, employer, family, physician, therapist, and if necessary, rehabilitation counselor, in order to provide information, and assist in the return of the injured worker either to his original employment or to mainstream employment. The medical case manager is able to assess the injured worker's home in regards to reasonable and appropriate modifications; assess the need for home care services to be provided by either professional or lay personnel; assess the appropriateness of medical equipment and assist in securing needed medical equipment; meet with physicians to determine future treatment needs, work restrictions, and other pertinent information. The medical case manager also provides medical bill audits, prepares lifelong care cost projections, and provides other consulting services as needed.
