Case Review & Management Services

The cost of an unplanned or unmanaged absence goes beyond the payroll department.

It includes such things as the cost of filling (or not filling) the job in the interim- the decreased productivity of others if no one fills the role or if a temporary worker is brought in and then brought up to speed. The costs of absences also include the increased stress on others in the organization who may be trying to fill in and the cost of not operating at maximum capacity.

The longer an absence lingers, the more health care costs escalate. IMC's Case Review and Management services are scalable and focused on loss control. Our goal is to help you manage the absence from start to finish in order to bring your employees back to work on time. In addition, by managing the process from the start we are able to keep you informed at each milestone along the way in order to plan effectively and keep your organization running as efficiently as possible.

Whether your organization is self-insured or fully insured, large or small, IMC's Absence Management programs will result in significant reductions in your company's financial exposure and an overall increase in workforce productivity.
