Overview
The Agile approach to Injury First Aid
We believe that returning to work after an injury benefits employees not just professionally, but also personally. Staying active and returning to work gives therm a positive self-image and speeds-up recovery. But we know that getting employees back to work after an injury can be concerning for an employer, and we’re here to help by providing:.
Protocols for quickly resolving non-reportable first aid cases
Our team understands the need to keep first aid contained to first aid. We partner with employers to make sure simple, non reportable claims are addressed quickly and efficiently. We have multiple direct pay and employer solutions to make sure a first aid case does not become a claim improperly.
Employer portal that provides access to all case details from time of injury return to work
Our software supports close interfacing with employers. From our portal, you can alert us of an injury and start the in-take before your employee even gets to our clinic. You can also monitor progress, review past visit data and review all invoices in a convenient online resource.
Documentation and defensible consultation to defend against expansion of claims in the future
Unfortunately, most employers have had the experience where a simple first aid claim is turned into something bigger down the line. Our physicians have the experience and know how to document the first aid encounter so that if a future claim is filed there is a defensible record of the evaluation and treatment.
Agile vs ER
Why Agile is better than an emergency room visit for minor injuries
As workers' comp specialists we helps your employees get back to full duty as quickly and easily as possible. Our team is composed of experts in the field of Workers’ Compensation treatment and care who pride themselves on prompt employee recovery.
Providers who work for an urgent care organization or hospital emergency room are trained to treat injuries swiftly and efficiently as possible and are often inundated with high volumes of patients. Agile focuses on procedures that are commonly caused by workplace injuries. Examples include soft tissue foreign body removal, eye foreign body removal, joint dislocation treatment and fracture care. This results in:
