INTEGRATED DISABILITY MANAGEMENT — (IDM)
Not all injuries and absences are the result of events that happen at work. However, they often have the same organizational and employee impact. The tools and techniques P3 uses to manage WC can often be the same ones used to manage other absences and disabilities, if you know how. For organizations that desire to take a holistic approach to employee absence management, P3 combines disability management and claims administration for occupational and non-occupational injuries and illnesses. This involves WC, short and long-term benefit plans, sick pay plans, as well as the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). We can when necessary, coordinate with government disability plans such as the VA and Social Security programs. This management strategy is known as Integrated Disability Management (IDM).
The hidden cost of disability cases often doubles the outlay for medical care and income replacement. Coordinating all of the interested parties, including the management team, results in cost savings, increased productivity, increased profitability, and better morale for those associated with the events. IDM is not a "cookie-cutter" methodology, so it requires experienced administrators in addition to defined and communicated practices to gain the best results.
We can get you started and we can teach you how to apply the right practices for your organization and your culture. P3 can provide the resources and the expertise to manage WC or IDM at all requirement levels. We can discuss strategy and work on specific cases, and we can reference where our efforts have been award winning. Our team has experience with some of the largest employers in the region as well as modest sized organizations. Our techniques and practices can work in all situations.
