Patient Advocacy

Patient Advocacy starts with a PT Consultation

The workers’ compensation system can be extremely confusing for an injured worker. MedRisk is here to help.

MedRisk’s patient-centric approach to managed physical medicine starts with a consultation with an on staff PT in advance of treatment and is again triggered later in cases where patients suddenly disengage from treatment. During the consultations, MedRisk is able to educate patients on the importance of physical therapy, describe what to expect and address any perceived barriers to recovery — including anxiety about COVID-19.
