Managed Care
Coordinated medical, pharmacy, clinical and network solutions that improve recovery outcomes and control total workers’ compensation costs.
A More Connected Approach to Managed Care
Without coordination, injured workers struggle to access appropriate care and employers face rising medical and pharmacy spend.
Accurate billing. Appropriate treatment.
Clinical nurses and certified coding specialists validate treatment, pricing, and compliance to confirm medical costs are appropriate and accurate.
Fast access to quality care
National and specialty networks help injured workers quickly locate experienced, occupationally focused providers near home or work.
California note: Where applicable, injured workers receive care through the existing PMA California Medical Provider Network (CA MPN), which remains unchanged pending State of California approval.
Safer, smarter medication use
Active pharmacy oversight manages utilization, controls narcotics, and ensures clinically appropriate prescriptions that support recovery.
Clear guidance through recovery
Dedicated resources help injured workers understand care options, locate providers and pharmacies, and stay focused on recovery.
Transparency for medical providers
Secure online access allows providers to view bill status, claim information, and payment details—supporting timely, accurate care delivery.
