Ancillary Services: Discharge Planning
Get Discharge Planning Right with Preferred Medical
When it comes to discharge planning for injured workers, there are a lot of moving parts before discharge from the hospital or care facility. Preferred Medical coordinates the needs of the injured worker to ensure a smooth transition from the facility to home care.
Here’s how our Discharge Planning services work:
- The adjuster or nurse case manager sends in the discharge referral form
- Our Ancillary Care Coordinators coordinate all the needs of the injured worker and works in conjunction with the discharge planners at the facility, physician’s office and payer to set up a plan of care.
- Both the injured worker and their caregivers are educated on the individualized plan of care and on any durable medical equipment or home health needs.
All equipment delivery and set-up, as well as injured worker and caregiver training is coordinated by Preferred Medical. In many cases, same-day service is available.
In addition to Discharge Planning, we also offer comprehensive Ancillary Services and assist payers with navigation of catastrophic care.
