Injury Care

The PRIME team will also educate employees about the benefits of returning to work and the psychological and social challenges that may delay recovery.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine is using electronic communication technologies to provide medical care to patients without an in-person visit, aiming to improve the patient’s health status. Telemedicine with Prime means simplified administration and management, cost savings, the ability to monitor and track, and 24-hour convenience and care. The benefits of telemedicine with Prime include saving time and money for patients and employers, a faster return-to-work timeframe, faster, more efficient access to high-quality medical care, making specialists more easily accessible, and better overall outcomes for the health of all employees.
MRO
An MRO (Medical Review Officer) review is required for every Department of Transportation (DOT) drug test. An MRO protects the employer from having to make decisions regarding an employee’s claim that his or her drug test result was caused by a medical reason and guards employers from having to deal with complicated issues related to the release or disclosure of private employee medical information.
