Some injured workers appreciate assistance from a nurse case manager. Others feel uncomfortable having someone working for the insurance company involved in their medical care.
A nurse case manager may attend appointments, communicate with doctors, request reports, and discuss return to work plans.
Even when everyone acts professionally, the injured workers may feel that private medical decisions are no longer entirely private.
A full workers’ compensation settlement can end the insurance company’s ongoing involvement in your treatment. There is generally no more insurance nurse attending appointments, contacting your doctors, or participating in discussion about your work restrictions.
For many injured workers, settlement means returning medical decisions to the patient and the patient’s own healthcare providers. That independence can by an important benefit of resolving a claim.
