Realizing the daily challenges one faces as an injured sick worker, Care for America’s Workers was formed to coordinate a range of services such as general care scheduling of skilled nursing, therapy services, social services, and personal care assistance to cover long-term supportive services that may be provided by family members or other clinical staff.

Under the process, your primary treating physician must prescribe and request authorization for these care services. The payer then determines through utilization review whether the services are reasonable and necessary to cure or relieve the effects of the injury. The type, frequency and duration of services that are appropriate depend on the injured worker’s functional status and type of impairment.
