Nurse Case Managers and Your Workers’ Compensation Case
Nurse case managers are medical professionals who work for insurance companies and are typically assigned to an injured workers’ case. In general, these managers:
- Coordinate injured workers’ treatments and care
- Attend doctors’ appointments with injured workers
- Manage their case with the insurance company.
What You Need to Know About Nurse Case Managers
Despite the fact that nurse case managers may seem to be helpful, it’s important that injured workers know that:
- Nurse case managers often prioritize the insurance company’s best interests over the injured workers’ wellbeing.
- To this end, nurse case managers may take an overbearing role in the injured workers’ care, sometimes even attempting to talk doctors into less expensive courses of treatment, into clearing injured workers to return to work sooner than they should, etc.
- Injured workers do NOT have to have nurse case managers involved in their case.
- They can get the nurse case manager released from their case by submitting a written request to insurance companies that states that they no longer want a nurse case manager and that they do not want the case manager discussing their medical affairs with their doctors.
