A worker gets injured on the job every 7 seconds
That’s right; the National Safety Council estimates that an on-the-job injury occurs every seven seconds. The council also reported that work-related, medically consulted injuries totaled 4.53 million in 2022.
If one of your employees gets injured, turn to Physicians Quality Care OCCMed.
We have the experience to expertly steer you through the entire workers’ compensation process — from treating the injured employee and determining causation to keeping you informed throughout the process and providing the documentation you need.
We are available to treat workers’ comp patients from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day of the week at both our Jackson and Milan locations. Our OCCMed facility at our Jackson location has a separate entrance and waiting area so your employee does not come in contact with sick patients in our urgent care clinic.
You don’t need to call ahead or have an appointment. (If you can, though, calling ahead before the employee arrives will help us provide treatment more efficiently.)
Your injured employee will leave our OCCMed facility with a doctor’s statement.
Our workers’ comp nurse will communicate with your safety manager or third-party administrator to make sure your employee gets the best care possible.
Our goal is to get your employee back to full duty as soon as possible.
Consider putting Physicians Quality Care OCCMed on your workers’ comp panel. Contact OCCMed Director Jennifer Carmack at 731-984-8400 or jennifer@occmedjackson.com.
Physical Therapy
About 20-25 percent of workers’ comp patients will need physical therapy, said Dr. Peter Gardner, PQC Medical Director. He recommends putting PQC Physical Therapy on your company’s provider panel because …
- PQC physical therapists provide excellent hands-on treatment.
- With the PT Department in the same building, the patient receives better continuity of care, which results in a faster recovery and a quicker return to work.
