Our clinic is open 7 days a week from 8 AM to 8 PM.
How Does Urgent Care Support Workers' Compensation Claims?
Seeking medical attention soon after a workplace injury helps establish a clear record of what happened and allows treatment to begin right away. Our providers evaluate the injury, recommend the appropriate course of care, and complete the medical documentation needed for many workers' compensation claims.
Our workers' compensation services include:
● Evaluation and treatment for work-related injuries
● On-site digital X-rays for suspected fractures and other injuries
● Return-to-work evaluations and medical documentation
● Follow-up care when medically appropriate
Why Does Early Treatment Matter?
Delaying medical care can sometimes allow an injury to worsen, which may lead to a longer recovery. Receiving prompt treatment gives employees the opportunity to begin care sooner while helping employers better understand the severity of the injury and any temporary work restrictions.
Clear medical documentation and timely communication also help employers, employees, and workers' compensation carriers stay informed throughout the recovery process.
What Workplace Injuries Can Be Treated at Urgent Care?
Many non-life-threatening workplace injuries can be treated at urgent care without the time and expense of an emergency room visit.
Our providers commonly treat:
● Sprains and strains
● Minor fractures
● Cuts and lacerations that may require stitches
● Minor burns
● Muscle injuries and back strains
● Slip-and-fall injuries
If a workplace injury is severe or life-threatening, we'll recommend immediate treatment at the nearest emergency room.
