Answers to your most common questions are below to learn more about our Occupational Health services.
Schedule an appointment regarding your company needs.
- Companies can ask their Workers Comp Carrier, their Risk Management team, and trusted business associates. A web search can also be helpful.
- Occupational medicine is the medical specialty focused on work-related illnesses and injuries. Injury prevention is crucial to maintain a healthy work force but when accidents occur occ med clinics diagnose and treat them promptly to restore the worker’s health. Businesses with a large work force, significant injury burden, or need for regulatory compliance do need occupational medicine clinics.
- Urgent cares focus on injury and illness treatment not related to the workplace while occupational medicine is focused on work-related injuries. Many urgent care centers also perform occupational medicine but not all do.
- First aid (wound cleaning, band aids) for minor injuries then referring to an occ med clinic for more serious injuries.
- These clinics should offer drug and alcohol testing, physicals such as DOT and pre-employment, fit testing, hearing tests, and frequently injury care treatment.
- This depends on the size of your workforce and injury incidence of your industry. Some businesses need an occ med provider only once or twice a year while others need them weekly.
- Local clinics typically have the advantage of better communication with employers and flexibility to customize treatment protocols while regional/national networks frequently have more clinic locations. The best choice ultimately depends on the priorities of the individual business.
- A “good” occupational medicine partner prioritizes communication with its clients. It is imperative that employer clients are kept informed about the medical status of their employees. Other important attributes are knowledge of OSHA regulations and not providing excessive medical care.
- Safety Directors, EHS Officers, HR Managers, and Operational Execs are frequently involved in choosing the Occ Med clinic.
- Experience with laceration care, fracture care, other basic procedures, operating hours, in-network status with various Worker Comp Carriers, return to work philosophy, communication methods with employers
- Once you have found candidate clinics with the appropriate experience, then the ultimate choice may come down to reputation in the community. Ask colleagues in your industry who they recommend and why.
- It depends on whether the employer choose to be direct billed for services or if all injury care is paid through Worker’s Comp insurance. Simple pre-employment physicals can cost $75+ while a visit for sutures can be upward of $250
- Best manner to reduce Workers’ comp costs is of course to minimize injuries. For companies with a large workforce and frequent injuries, they may consider direct billing for injury care thus reducing utilization of work comp insurance and subsequent insurance rate hikes.
- Prevention is worth a pound of cure but when injuries do occur: promote “light or modified” duty. By having the employee continue to work even with clerical or supervisory duties, he/she remains mentally engaged with work, continues to feel productive, and tends to recovery quicker.
We deliver full-spectrum workplace health: employers can send injured workers to a physician-led clinic for compliant Workers’ Compensation care, drug and alcohol testing, physicals, and medical surveillance. Because we also have urgent care service line, employees can also be seen for their personal illnesses. In this manner, we are a one-stop clinic that employers can count on.
We serve companies of all sizes with our core clients in the Construction, Manufacturing, and Municipal industries with 75 – 500 employees.
Turnaround time is managed through same day appointments, efficient re-evaluations from days to a week depending on the injury. Our near-100% return-to-work rate reflects our commitment to keeping injured employees engaged for a faster psychological recovery.
Cases are directed by an engaged medical director—not routed through rigid corporate algorithms thus faster return to work decisions without unnecessary time off
Direct communication with safety directors, HR, and operations teams so employers know exactly what is going on and what the restrictions mean
Through its partnership with Capitol Medical Services, ExpressMD delivers a true continuum of care—from on-site triage and jobsite support to in-clinic evaluation and follow-up
ExpressMD operates locally, with leadership accessible and decisions made in Austin—not in a distant corporate office.
Quickest and most effective way is to email the Medical Director or call the Practice Manager. We investigate the complaint, address it and when necessary make any changes to ensure the injured employee is properly cared for.
