About CCM
We started 30 years ago as a nurse rehabilitation company serving Workers’
Compensation and No-fault insurance carriers.
Our mission was to save money spent on the medical and indemnity costs,
through aggressive case management.
These simple beginnings have allowed us to expand our services to
self-funded benefit plans, employers, third party administrators,
and attorneys.
Our nurses are among the best in the
business.
CCM nurses are trained in both the medical and business aspects of case
management.
A
nurse consultant is assigned to each indemnity case and your
employee is guided through the health care system each step of the
way.

Injury Assessment
We start by conducting an Injury Assessment to give the adjuster, employer
and CCM’s case manager a shared understanding of the case.
We contact the employee and provide a summary report the next day so you
know where you stand.
- An injury assessment provides:
- Claimant’s description of the injury,
- Medical treatment to date,
- Listing of pre-existing medical conditions,
- Physicians who have treated the claimant for
pre-existing conditions,
- Previous work-related injuries and illnesses,
and
- Recommendations for Employer, TPA, and Case
Management.
We also outline hindering factors that may delay the employee’s
eventual return to work or prolong the healing period.
The injury assessment includes narrative impressions
and recommendations from the nurse so you have a clear
understanding of the case and what lies ahead.

CCM’s injury assessment report was
developed over 30 years of case management, with input from
employers and claims adjusters.
The Injury Assessment forms the
basis for case and claims management that follows.
15-8 or Second Injury fund cases are quickly identified
and approvals can be granted immediately for services still
pending authorization.

Adjusters

I
love this format. Will we continue to receive this kind of
report? - Adjuster
Your
injury assessment provides a complete and thorough report of
the claimant’s history and saves my adjusters hours trying
