Onsite care is immediate and can reduce work comp claims, prevent unnecessary clinic visits, avoid time loss, and improve productivity.
What if an Employee Requires a Higher Level of Medical Attention?
Our highly-trained professional EMTs will provide a full assessment of the worker’s injury and will determine the appropriate treatment and follow-up care. The majority of our first-aid incidents are successfully treated at the scene and the employee is able to return to full work duty.
If there is a need for elevated medical care the employee will be transported round trip to your preferred clinic or after-hours emergency department. With Medix MedCALL you have an alternative to having the worker take themselves for treatment or the liability risk of having other employees transport an injured worker.
