Work Injury Treatment
CNS Occupational Medicine partners with employers to provide cost-effective, comprehensive occupational medicine services including treatment of workplace illness and injury.
If you are regulated by OSHA, choosing an occupational medicine team that understands the OSHA recordkeeping rule and how certain medical diagnoses and treatments impact your OSHA 300 log is crucial.
What types of injuries do we treat?
Our providers have a thorough understanding of federal and state regulations including Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, so they can make the best treatment plans and perform regulatory examinations.
Our Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants are all trained to treat non-life and limb-threatening injuries including:
- lacerations
- burns
- sprains or strains
- chemical exposures
- minor eye injuries
- over use injuries
- over extension injuries
- and more
What is Workers' Compensation?
Workers’ Compensation (WC), also known as workers’ comp, is historically a discussion geared toward the employer, the employee, and the insurance carrier providing coverage to the employer for injured employees.
Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement, medical, vocational and other benefits to employees injured or disabled while at work. The benefits are also for dependents of the injured workers in the event that a worker is killed as a result of a workplace injury.
U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP)
The OWCP manages 4 compensation programs providing the below benefits to the individuals that are injured on the job.
- Wage replacement benefits
- Medical treatment
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Other benefits
3 reasons not to use ER or Urgent Care?
Cost
Emergency room and urgent care costs are incredibly high.
Knowledge
Hospital system providers are unaware of the process for work injury treatments based on Workers Compensation rules, regulations, and standards that govern lost time, OSHA recordables, and variances in medication prescriptions that can alter how an injury is required to be documented.
Time
Hopital emergency rooms are typically overflowing with patients that need to be seen and it will take hours to have an employee be checked and cleared for work.
What employees are at risk for work injuries?
It is not uncommon for employees to get hurt on the job no matter what industry they work in.
