Injury Management Program

Employee healthcare costs businesses millions of dollars each year in lost workdays and insurance claims.

Managing workers' compensation cases and providing a sound program of occupational medicine is a job that few employers are qualified to handle alone. Dealing with time-consuming paperwork and facilitating employees' return to work after injury can add up to one big headache. So can minimizing treatment costs, lost time, and disability payments. Carilion Occupational Medicine (COM) treats employees with work-related illness or injuries in an efficient, economical, convenient way.

The Injury Management program was designed with your concerns in mind: to help you control medical costs, minimize Workers' Compensation paperwork and return your employee to work quickly.

Quality Service You'll Appreciate

• Employees with work-related illnesses or injuries are seen promptly and efficiently.
• Prompt communication and reporting on your employee's condition, including the diagnosis, treatment and return-to-work status.

Follow-Up

Your employees treated at the Carilion Occupational Medicine Clinic at Carilion Roanoke Community Hospital receive follow-up care from the same medical team. This ensures continuity of care for the patient and a continuing emphasis on your business concerns. Employees who are initially treated through a Carilion emergency department (ED) may return there for follow-up care, be referred to the Roanoke COM Clinic or return to the employer's panel of physicians, according to preference.

Convenient Location

In Roanoke, employees can be seen at the clinic located at Carilion Roanoke Community Hospital, where a dedicated entrance, staff and waiting area ensure prompt attention.

The clinic is open 8a.m. to 4 p.m.

Clinical Quality

COM is backed by clinical professionals with training and expertise in trauma, industrial medicine, toxicology and hazardous exposures. For cases requiring care from another specialist, we'll make an appropriate referral. The panel of referral physicians we use represents a wide range of medical and surgical specialties.

Billing Service

Insurance specialists complete insurance forms and file the necessary Workers' Compensation claim information to make your job easier.

Return-to-Work Philosophy

We understand that time is money, so we'll work to get your employees back on the job quickly. Not only are we committed to treating injured employees promptly, but our modified work policy helps cut lost work time for industrial accidents. If an employee is unable to resume regular job duties at once, physicians will provide instructions for the kind of work that can be handled during recovery. Our "return-to-work" philosophy is our most important commitment to you.
