Return-to-Work: Louisiana
Louisiana is favorable for our Permanently-Restricted RTW Program and our Transitional RTW Program.
Louisiana has specific requirements, including:
- All jobs must be approved by the treating physician
- Usually, pre-payment for each job approval is necessary
- Copies of the physician-approved job/placement must be sent to all parties
- Mailings must be via certified mail, to claimants/attorneys/physicians simultaneously
- Jobs must be open AFTER physician approval -- timeliness on behalf of physician's office is critical
A brief outline of our RTW process for permanently-restricted Louisiana work comp claims is below:
- Confirmation of referral within 2 hours
- Workfinders contacts attorney/claimant to schedule initial Return-to-Work Assessment
- Return-to-Work Assessment created, submitted to all parties
- RTW program begins
- All job leads sent to claimant's physician for approval
- All job leads sent to claimant and attorney simultaneously
- Monthly reporting by Workfinders
A brief outline of our RTW process for transitional Louisiana work comp claims is below:
