Early Assessments allow claims managers the ability to achieve an early understanding of examinees that fit the profile of a long duration injury. This provides the claims manager with a tool to better determine appropriateness of care and further diagnostic testing. The insurance carrier then has the tools necessary to discuss the case with the treating physician and understand the return to work issues and need for household help or equipment. At the time of scheduling for the initial examination, a follow-up evaluation is scheduled so that the case can be closely watched during its preliminary stages. Early assessments are often used to monitor soft tissue injuries.
