Workers’ Compensation

The doctors at Edison-Metuchen Orthopaedic Group have been providing care for occupational injuries for over 30 years. Due to the collective expertise of our doctors, they receive repeat referrals from Workers’ Compensation adjusters and case managers and have also been designated by area employers as the dedicated orthopaedic providers for their injured workers.

* Our physicians specialize in treating work-related injuries and understand the additional needs that are involved with these referrals. They are experienced in providing detailed documentation that will assist the adjuster/case manager assigned to the claim.

* Our physicians have extensive experience working and communicating with adjusters and case managers to coordinate the care for workers that have been injured on the job. This teamwork approach helps avoid delays in treatment and focuses on the ultimate goal of returning the patient to their pre-injury status.

* Our office sends out Workers’ Comp Notes and RXs to the adjuster/case manager the same day as the exam, which will include the diagnosis, return-to-work status and re-evaluate date/time (when applicable).

* We offer same day appointments for emergent referrals.
