Turn to Us for Outstanding Case Management Services
At Hudgins Services, Inc., we have highly qualified rehabilitation specialists who will manage your cases according to evidence-based guidelines that unite payers, providers, and employers to confidentially and effectively return the employee to health. We pride ourselves on providing outstanding results to each of our clients.
Our Reliable Staff
Our case managers ensure that the injured workers receive the medical and vocational services that will return them to their jobs in a safe and effective manner through evidence-based guidelines. We will ensure that the best treatment for their condition will be provided and we will assist them with the recovery process. We also encourage each employee’s family members to support their injured relative.
What We Do
Catastrophic Case Management
Catastrophic injuries are life‑threatening and can have long‑term effects on the affected individual. Some examples of the types of injuries that fall under this category are:
- Falls From Extreme Heights
- Spinal Injuries
- Limb Amputations
- Radiation or Chemical Exposures
- Life-Threatening Burns
Having an employee become involved in a catastrophic incident causes enormous financial implications for a business owner. Without the immediate administration of the right treatment for your employee, there is the risk of an extended recovery period and the accumulation of expenses.
Fortunately, we have a regional network of highly trained catastrophic nurse case managers who have connections to the top trauma centers in various areas. You can count on us to provide your employee with the healthcare services he/she needs to reduce their recovery time.
How It Works
When you reach out to us, your case will be taken care of by an attentive customer service representative who will then assign a qualified case manager to visit the medical center where your employee is admitted.
One of our case managers will carry out a thorough assessment of your employee and relay his/her findings to you. We will recommend the most effective medical care for the worker to ensure he/she recovers quickly.
Vocational Case Management
This service is most suited for employees who have been injured and are unable to return to their previous jobs. We assist incapacitated individuals in gaining the transferable skills they need to excel on the job market and find work sooner. This helps them avoid extended periods of unemployment at a time when they need money the most.
