CONDITIONS & INJURIES
Work-Related Injuries
Focus on your symptoms, your work, and the right documentation.
Understanding your concern.
A work-related injury can affect the tasks you depend on every day. The practice’s existing information includes work-injury care and work-ready programs. Your first step is to confirm the requested service, appropriate provider, and any authorization needed before an appointment.
Make everyday life part of the conversation.
Be ready to explain how the injury occurred and the physical demands of your role. Bring relevant records, activity restrictions, and referral or claim information when applicable. A job description can help the team understand the activities involved.
Discuss the appropriate options.
Your provider may discuss rehabilitation, medical care, or other suitable options after evaluation. When requested and appropriate, work conditioning, work hardening, or a functional capacity evaluation may be considered. Confirm the program and paperwork with the office; clinical recommendations and claim decisions have different responsibilities.
Before your visit
- When did symptoms begin?
- Which activities are affected?
