| At Georgia Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery, our physicians and staff pride themselves on their expertise with work-related illnesses and injuries covered under workers' compensation.
We understand the special challenges presented by industrial injuries and illnesses. We know that early diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries are the keys to returning an injured worker to the job as soon as possible thereby reducing both medical costs and time lost from work. We strive to provide excellent medical care to the injured worker, while at the same time, we keep the employer and insurance carrier apprised of the patient's treatment plan, progress and status.
We believe in working closely with the patient, the employer and the carrier to develop appropriate work restrictions and light duty assignments. Our cost-containment strategies include a conservative approach to the use of ancillary services and testing procedures. We understand the value of work-injury prevention and provide education to our patients in proper body mechanics ergonomic and post-injury rehabilitation.
Patients with work related injuries must provide us with their employer's name and address. Our Work Comp form must be completed prior to the appointment time to verify coverage by the employer. This form can be downloaded from our website or faxed if requested. If the employer denies the claim, the patient will become responsible for the claim.
