Avoiding Lost Time in Workers Compensation
Our occupational medicine physicians thoroughly understand the management and treatment of work-related injuries and how to manage them properly. They work to deliver outstanding care, while returning the injured employee to full duty or work restriction status. Taking patients off duty may be appropriate, but our occupational medicine physicians work to limit this as much as possible. Although we always place the patients health and safety first, our Joliet occupational medicine providers avoid unnecessarily causing an injury to become OSHA recordable.

Employers can risk significant and unnecessary lost time if their selected occupational medicine providers are not experts in the management of work-related injuries. Unnecessary lost time costs employers both lost productivity and increased workers compensation premiums.

As you seek to manage your workers compensation program effectively, the occupational medicine program at Physicians Immediate Care, Joliet will make your life easier. Our occupational medicine physicians are committed to communicating early and often with employers. Our occupational medicine director and account support staff carry cell phones and will answer your calls in a timely manner.
