Health Navigation: Simplifying Care, Reducing Costs and Improving Outcomes
Navigating the healthcare system can be confusing, time-consuming, and costly. In fact, research shows that up to 20% of medical care is unnecessary, driving millions of dollars in avoidable expenses each year.
Medcor’s health navigation model changes that. By combining evidence-based medicine, patented assessment methods, and proprietary technology, we help employees access the right level of care—at the right time and in the right place—while helping employers reduce unnecessary claims and costs.
What Is Health Navigation?
Health navigation streamlines the complex healthcare process by helping employees make informed, efficient care decisions. Delivered through onsite clinics, telehealth solutions like injury and illness triage, safety services and wellness programs, Medcor’s model provides clear, consistent guidance when it matters most.
We answer the important questions traditional healthcare often overlooks:
- Does this injury require more than first aid?
- Can the employee be treated safely onsite?
- If offsite care is needed, where should they go and how soon?
- How can the employee stay on track to return to work?
- What prevention strategies can reduce future incidents?
Every interaction is powered by data, driven by clinical expertise, and focused on one goal—delivering the best care decisions every time.
