Using A Nurse Triage Membership to Protect Your Employees

Accidents on the job can happen no matter your level of preparation. As an employer, you want to provide your employees with the best safety resources to protect them and prevent the need for workers’ compensation claims.

One of these safety resources that we find business owners sometimes overlook is a Nurse Triage Membership.

What is it? A Nurse Triage Membership is a workers’ compensation tool that provides you access to healthcare advice instantly. If an accident occurs, your injured employee can call in and speak with a nurse to assess their symptoms.

How does it work? The designated telehealth nurse allows individuals to immediately report injuries and describe their current situation and status. Should the nurse see a need for treatment, the individual can be directed to their covered options.

Will it help my employees? The nurse’s priority is the injured individual, and they do not have any power to make workers’ compensation award decisions. Their expertise is impartial, and they seek to serve with the best care possible.

This service helps to address some of the biggest challenges that might arise for workers’ compensation and injuries on the job.

1. Determining whether to seek care for a non-emergency condition can be challenging. However, addressing certain situations or injuries right away can help prevent further complications and the need for long-term treatment.
2. Accidents can also occur at any time of day. This service offers advice 24/7, so reports and the opportunity to seek care never slip through the cracks.
3. Finally, this service helps employees feel more comfortable reporting their injuries. It gives them an educated medical professional to speak to, rather than having to disclose information to someone within their organization.

We hope this summary helps you better understand this valuable tool for business owners. If you want to learn more about how this service can help your business, complete the form at the top of this post. Someone from our team will contact you soon.
