Ancillary care services
Caring for injured employees and your bottom line
After an employee is injured on the job, they may need assistance with various aspects of their treatment and recovery, such as scheduling an MRI or home health, finding a wheelchair or getting to a medical appointment. Coordinating services with various providers while managing costs and care can be overwhelming and time consuming. Our ancillary care team can help. Dedicated care coordinators offer concierge-level support in delivering quality, cost-effective ancillary services that help injured employees on their road to recovery. Careworks provides a 48-hour scheduling guarantee for all services, and can schedule the same day or the next day for urgent requests.

We help claims professionals navigate optimal post-acute care for injured employees, seeing 30% average savings. Our specialized care coordinators work with the claims team, provider, and the injured employee to support transition to a credentialed in-patient facility, ensuring access to quality care at a reasonable cost.
When workplace injuries or illnesses occur, we are here to help return employees back to health and productivity at the lowest overall cost. Our PPO network offers access to over 900,000 medical professionals across all specialties and our online provider search tool helps employers and their workers find the best – and closest – care.
Occupational hearing loss is the most common work-related injury. An estimated 22 million workers are exposed to potentially damaging noise each year. Of those, 18% have hearing loss. Our audiology program ensures injured employees receive the appropriate hearing devices, while controlling costs for employers.
Amputation injuries are the costliest lost time claims, averaging nearly $100k per claim - not to mention, the cost of prosthetics has risen dramatically. Unlike durable medical equipment, such as crutches or wheelchairs, the management of prosthetics is complex. The experts in our ancillary care program can help.
