The key industry players in the workers' compensation process include:

• Employers
• Care managers
• Care providers
• Adjusters/third-party administrators

Prompt treatment of an injured worker translates into a faster return to work. This saves employers money, staffing hassles and lawsuits. CompConnector provides employers instant access to current injury information, improving their ability to monitor the condition of the injured worker. This allows employers to plan and adjust modified work schedules and duties as needed. In addition, employers can help care providers make more informed patient return to work decisions by providing them with customized job descriptions and other pertinent information via the CompConnector.


Good nurses are hard to find. Care managers need them focused on patient care, not fighting mountains of paper, faxing and refaxing, or calling and recalling providers. CompConnector saves nurses and administrators countless numbers of administrative hours. By replacing the old claims process with a one-step computer entry, those endless hours of pushing paper back and forth are eliminated. The saved time can now be spent productively, managing the proper care for the care manager's current clients and, with the time saved, developing and serving new business.


A big bonus for care providers who join the CompConnector is the opportunity to generate additional revenue through increased referrals. CompConnector allows all employers and care managers who are seeking quality treatment of their workers to send care providers online referrals. Each time care providers receive an online referral, CompConnector will automatically fax their office to alert them to visit the CompConnector Web site. At the CompConnector Web site, care providers will login to their private sites and get all the information they need to contact, treat and bill the patient. This includes instant access to base-line health information, job descriptions, a patient's condition and health history prior to treatment, and other pertinent data.

In addition, care providers can easily update the medical status report. This accelerates the decision-making process and eliminates the frustrations and time delays due to lost faxes, copying, filing or duplicate entry of information. Care providers give the care manager and adjuster only what they need and only once.


The frustrations of the current workers' compensation process include time wasted searching through over-stuffed files, copying and faxing the same documents over and over again, and delayed decisions due to missing information. It's the usual order of business and it has been draining productivity, moral and profitability, until now. CompConnector provides adjusters and third-party administrators quick and easy access to key care information from all the necessary players. This offers significant time and money savings for these groups. They also will gain access to many contact management tools that will assist them in performing their jobs more efficiently. Everything adjusters and third-party administrators will need to determine a claim's validity and payment options virtually comes to their computer (i.e., bills, medical notes, etc.). This increased speed and accuracy decreases an employee's time away from work and reduces the chances for litigation due to errors.
