Occupational Health

Getting Employees Working

We help you and your employees avoid the emergency room by providing a broad spectrum of services to address injuries and help employees return to work — quickly and as strong as before.

Our board-certified physicians and physician assistants are experienced in workers’ compensation injury management. We develop a unique plan for each employee’s treatment and a projected return-to-work date. We take pride in communicating closely with you, so that you are aware of return-to-work dates and modifications suggested for the injured employee at the worksite. We maintain on-site x-ray, screening laboratories, and a pharmacy — all evidence that everything your employees will need is in a single location.

Information for Employees

Once authorized by your supervisor, we provide immediate treatment should you be injured on the job. Our staff is experienced in dealing with the paperwork needed for on-the-job injuries, and we are able to connect you with area specialists or rehabilitative services as needed.

At the time of your visit, we require verification from your company that you have incurred an injury while working and that your company is responsible for the bill (this can be faxed to us or brought with you).

If your company asks you to visit us for a physical exam, drug screen, or other service, please discuss with your company prior to arrival who will be responsible for the payment. If we treat you for a workers' comp injury at our clinic, we will bill your company for our services. However, in the case that your workers' comp claim is denied, we will ask you to pay the balance of your bill.

At the end of your first visit, you will receive several forms to return to your supervisor, including:

a note stating your ability to do your job or modified duty;
a green Workers' Compensation Request for Claim Number form, which should be filled out by your supervisor and returned to us by the time of your next visit. This form will have your claim number from your company's insurance carrier, and we will need this claim number in order to treat you after the first visit.

After your visit your company is responsible for:

completing a First Report of Injury or Illness form and sending it to the Workers' Compensation Commission in Baltimore;
calling the company's insurance carrier and reporting the incident, thereby obtaining a claim number for you;
filling out our green Workers' Compensation Request for Claim Number form and returning it to Secure Medical Care by fax, mail, or asking you to bring it with you to your next visit.
