CompConnector is a groundbreaking company that is focused exclusively on improving efficiency in the workers' comp industry by linking the key players via the Internet. By dramatically improving the information flow between employers, care providers, care managers, and payers, CompConnector saves everyone involved significant time and money. Moreover, it helps improve the quality and speed of decision making involving the injured worker.

Why...
Changes in the ways workers' comp claims are paid for and administered mean that:

- More people than ever are involved in the care decision process.

- Paperwork log-jams are increasing costs and slowing care decisions.

The last five years has seen the introduction of e-mail and database transfer. This technology has allowed the care management companies, claims administrators and employers/insurers to integrate file notes, thereby enhancing the flow of communication between the parties.

Although there have been significant strides in communication among some of the parties in the workers' compensation process, the medical providers (specialist, ancillary providers , etc.) have been excluded from the electronic processing of information. The medical providers continue to fax and mail critical medical reports and billing information to the care managers, claims adjusters and employers. This manual process causes delays in critical workers’ compensation decisions such as future medical treatment, provider payments and return to work. This frustrates the injured employee, which often drives them into the litigation process.

How...
TMN's CompConnector uses the Internet to connect the medical provider to the key decision-makers in the workers' compensation process. CompConnector is a completely independent, open system, so no one is locked into, or out of, a closed system owned by an industry participant. No-one has to purchase dedicated equipment. Access and confidentiality are maintained through sophisticated encryption and router technology.

The WC Care Provider Networks...
The CompConnector enables a provider network to be up-loaded to the Internet. Networks no longer have to print costly directories for their customers. Employers can search the latest network information at their fingertips, using sophisticated search criteria. Then they can print directions to the previous office.

The Care Managers, Claims Adjusters and Employers...
Through the CompConnector you can electronically refer injured employees to the medical providers via the Internet. This process eliminates the mailing and the faxing of forms. In addition the care manager can transmit items such as standard job descriptions and photos, enabling the care provider to make more informed return to work recommendations. The process enhances medical office productivity and reduces the time it will takes to make critical decisions. The medical status forms are transferred to the care managers, claim adjusters and employers via the Net. These forms can then be viewed online by the adjuster or nurse.

Medical providers...
...are able to instantly recieve referrals that contain more information than phones or faxes. They will be able to transmit smart, self-populating medical status reports to the nurse or adjuster for review. A referral or report will never again be lost, re-copied, or re-sent again.

The CompConnector is the vehicle which will close the information loop in the workers' compensation process.
