Cost Effective Treatment & Facilitating Workers Return to the Job

Innovations, in partnership with Managed Care Advisors, has created a joint venture known as MCAI which provides superior quality worker's compensation case management for the Transportation Security Administration and other Federal government employees. Each case worker is a highly experienced and well trained registered nurse. What is more, each nurse holds a certification in one or more areas of specialty knowledge such as case management, rehabilitation, etc.

MCAI nurses are distributed throughout the Nation and support injured Federal employees in their region of responsibility. This ensures that each regional nurse has a thorough understanding of the facilities in which the workers are employed as well as the resources available in the worker's community. Site visits to the Federal workplaces ensure the highest quality communication between the Federal agencies and their regional nurses. Visits to provider clinics ensure that protocols for treatment and reporting are established, thereby reducing wasteful expenses and facilitating appropriate, timely treatment.

The goals of the MCAI joint venture are to:

• Contact injured Federal employees as soon as possible after their injuries
• Offer assistance and information to find appropriate, cost effective medical or therapeutic treatment
• Provide support and information that facilitates the workers' prompt return to their job

This support, education, and communication has resulted in consistently increasing savings to the Federal agencies working with MCAI. Saving tax dollars and bringing better, more appropriate treatment to Federal employees - just another way that Innovations helps improve the efficiency of our Federal Government partners and clients.
