We're dedicated to containing claim costs and keeping premiums as low as possible.
Chesapeake Employers is committed to containing claim costs and keeping premiums as low as possible through integrated health and claims services. We employ a team of doctors, nurses, physical therapists and a pharmacist, that work side-by-side with experienced claims professionals to ensure medical treatment for injured workers is swift, thorough, and appropriate.
Doctors
Two orthopedic surgeons, experienced in occupational injuries, provide medical advice on treatment interventions and cost containment opportunities.
Nurses
Our nurses provide case management and medical services utilization review to ensure the medical treatment that the injured worker may need is appropriate and administered in a timely manner.
Pharmacist
The pharmacist works with our outside Pharmacy Benefits Manager to monitor drug utilization and prescriptions related to the work injury, while addressing any safety concerns associated with medications.
Physical Therapists
Our physical therapists monitor injured workers’ progress for short- and long-term goals, and vigilantly review invoices for reasonableness.
For example, injuries to the back can often become costly, with prolonged treatment, medications, and lengthy recovery times. These claims receive our early case management attention.
We have a Catastrophic Injury, or “CAT”, team to help you and your injured employee whenever these events occur.
Our team reviews proposed medical treatments to confirm they are reasonable and medically necessary to ensure maximum recovery.
We work with a pharmacy benefits manager to provide injured workers access to prescription medicines at more than 67,000 participating pharmacies around the country, including more than 1,300 in Maryland. Our pharmacy benefits manager helps us to manage costs by negotiating lower prescription prices; leverage safety features to ensure better care and outcomes; and access comprehensive data to identify trends in utilization.
We manage a network of physicians who have been evaluated to ensure they meet the highest standards to provide independent medical evaluations when a second opinion is needed.
Our billing specialists review medical bills for accuracy and prompt payment. They help manage costs by negotiating lower hospital fees and working with Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs).
Our nurses, claims adjusters, and safety consultants help employers create return-to-work programs, often customized, to help injured workers transition back to productive work as soon as they are medically able.
