When it comes to workers’ compensation cases, choosing the right doctor is critical. Injured workers deserve exceptional medical care, and employers and insurance carriers need confidence that the physicians treating their employees understand the workers’ compensation process—from documentation and timelines to best practices and outcomes.

Attention adjusters, case managers, nurses, and risk managers—when it comes to caring for injured workers, the physician you choose matters. Referring an employee to a doctor who doesn’t fully understand the workers’ compensation process can lead to delays, miscommunication, and unnecessary complications. That’s a risk no one should have to take.

For more than 20 years, OM has been dedicated to empowering physicians and ancillary service providers within the workers’ compensation space. Our mission is simple but impactful: to help doctors establish, expand, and sustain successful workers’ compensation practices built on knowledge, trust, and best practices.

If you’re a physician looking to grow your workers’ compensation referrals, we want to help—but in the right way, and for the right reasons.

If you’re looking to strengthen and grow your practice’s workers’ compensation referrals, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own either.

When an employee is injured, employers want to direct them to physicians who are highly qualified, provide excellent medical care, and support a clear and steady recovery.

OM is announcing the upcoming release of the Center of Excellence (COE) Designation, scheduled to open in February. Developed by OM in partnership with employers, carriers, physicians, and clinical experts, the COE establishes a national standard for quality in workers’ compensation care.

The workers’ compensation landscape continues to evolve. For physicians in orthopedics, pain management, spine, and multi-specialty practices, understanding these trends is important for staying aligned with the needs of employers, carriers, and injured employees. While overall claim volume remains steady, the complexity, cost, and expectations surrounding care continue to change in ways that directly affect clinical practice.
