IMCS provides biopsychosocial CPR to the most difficult cases

Chronic pain, trauma, lost productivity, escalating care costs and increased claims; all are the direct result of work-related injuries. The stakes are high for everyone: employees, their families, employers and insurers. As a leader in biopsychosocial innovation to the workers’ compensation industry, Integrated Medical Case Solutions (IMCS Group) is distinguished in its proven transformative approach to injured workers. A pioneer in evidence-based evaluation and treatment, the IMCS national network of over 1,500 psychologists and psychiatrists has a track record of success using highly integrated solutions to expedite return-to-function and work.

An estimated 10 percent of claims consume 80 percent or more of workers’ compensation medical and indemnity resources. Up to 50 percent of those costs can be contained with minimal intervention. Now you can accurately predict which cases are at risk for prolonged recovery. Intervene on these claims that are likely to languish in the WC system.

Early intervention begins with IMCS’s proprietary questionnaire and scoring algorithm. The questions identify cognitive, affective, and psychosocial factors that predict pain escalation and prolonged disability.

• The IMCS Early Intervention Pain Questionnaire (EIPQ) and FLAG-DR™ scoring takes just 6-minutes to administer and yields predictive analysis with 95% accuracy.
• The 10-question EIPQ can be administered as early as two weeks post injury.

Restore self-sufficiency, productivity and dignity.

A CBT plan consisting of 4-8 sessions has proven cost containment up to 50% due to the early identification and treatment of injured workers at high risk for delayed recovery.
