- This service, like virtually all our consulting services, is scalable: we work with you to determine your specific needs and then recommend the appropriate level of medical directorship.
- At one end of the spectrum is an “off-site” medical director who consults with clients as needed over the phone and serves as a resource for their occasional medical-compliance issues.
- Another option is a dedicated physician who regularly travels to the worksite to consult with risk management personnel on specific injury claims, disability cases, and worksite conditions.
- At the more comprehensive level, we offer integrated, on-site employee health programs, clinics and whole person wellness programs.
- Whatever level you choose, your company has access to the knowledge of an experienced physician who specializes in occupational, environmental and workplace medical issues. Plus, our affiliated physicians are networked through our telecommunication system, so your Medical Director can consult with fellow colleagues on complex or new issues.
