Years ago, the MCO's were trying to push a 3 strikes and you are out for case managers. While many MCO's own a voc rehab company or work closely with a contracted company, their case managers would likely get special treatment. Three strikes and your out, however, would give the MCO more power to control independent providers. Injured workers have the right to choose an independent provider to ensure the case manager's goals are aligned with the injured workers goals.
At IVS, we insist our case managers are following chapter 4 guidelines yet still focus on doing what is best for the injured workers. Unfortunately, that sometimes mean we disagree with MCO or BWC DMC. This is just an idea, but unlikely to gain traction because of the unbalance of power. Contact us if you have questions.
