Healthcare is complicated and often costly. Any misstep on the path of care can increase the physical and financial burden of healthcare. Some of the costs of missteps are hidden.
Healthcare is complicated and often costly. Any misstep on the path of care can increase the physical and financial burden of healthcare. Some of the costs of missteps are hidden.
The costs add up when employees lose productive time at work by going offsite for needed care like medical surveillance, appointments for prescriptions or follow-ups, annual wellness checks, and screenings.
When employees at different work locations receive different treatments for the same health concerns, the costs related to inconsistent treatments add up.
When employees bounce from one provider to another, following a seemingly endless chain of referrals, which may or may not be necessary for the care they really need—those costs add up, too.
Other costs of missteps are more pronounced.
Getting unnecessary treatment for a worker injury at an emergency room or an urgent care center can be one of those missteps. Either facility may not be the not the right place or the appropriate level of care for an injury. However, if you’re not a medical professional, making the call about where a worker should go for treatment is not a position you want to be in. Yet the ensuing claims and the fallout of adding an OSHA recordable to your record all come at significant expense.
On the flip side, delays in getting the right level of care, due to a “wait and see” mentality or to the unavailability of proper injury assessment, can increase the cost of care as untreated injuries worsen.
And the cost of poor health security—or no health security—at your worksites can be crippling if a worker with COVID-19 spreads the virus to their coworkers.
