Why Choosing the Right Doctor Matters

When an employee gets hurt, nothing is more important than making sure they receive the highest quality medical care possible.

At OM, we believe patient care should always be the number one priority, regardless of the payor. Before networks, paperwork, or any other consideration, the focus should be on helping injured employees receive the best care possible from highly qualified physicians.

For more than 20 years, employers, carriers, and case management companies have trusted OM to help guide them to doctors who prioritize patient care while also understanding the unique responsibilities that come with treating injured workers.

Not every doctor is the same.

The physician treating an injured employee can have a direct impact on the quality of care received, the employee's recovery, and how quickly they can safely return to work.

The doctors OM partners with are known for their credentials, experience, commitment to patient care, and understanding of injured workers. Many are board-certified specialists, fellowship-trained physicians, surgeons, and healthcare professionals dedicated to providing high-quality care.

One of the questions we hear most often from employers is, "How do I know which doctor is right for my employees?"

For more than 20 years, employers have relied on OM to help them identify highly qualified physicians who put patient care first. Our goal has always been to help employers find doctors who provide exceptional care while understanding the unique responsibilities involved in treating injured workers.

Patient care should never take a back seat to the payor source. Whether an employee is being treated through workers' compensation, private insurance, Medicare, or any other payor, the standard of care should remain the same. Employees deserve access to the best doctors available.

We also encourage employers to reach out to OM to learn about physicians before an injury occurs. OM can provide in-depth information about each of our physicians and, if needed, coordinate physician introductions, lunch-and-learns, educational in-services, and onsite visits. These meetings give employers the opportunity to learn more about a physician's approach to patient care, specialties, communication, and treatment philosophy.

Many physicians are also available to visit employer locations to learn more about job duties, physical demands, workplace environments, and injury trends. The better a physician understands your workplace, the better they can care for your employees when injuries occur.

At the end of the day, our philosophy is simple: Patient care comes first, regardless of the payor.
