More than 200 corporate employers are currently enrolled
in Capital Region Medical Center's "DirectNet." This no-cost program
offers businesses a comprehensive management tool designed to help you effectively
manage your workers' compensation program, keep your health care costs under
control and lower workers' compensation insurance rates.
DirectNet's approach to workers' compensation care means

that's "best for you." This package of services, customized to your
specific business situation, allows you to:
Track individual medical claims
Minimize lost work days as a result of on-the-job
injuries
Reduce overall medical expenses
Save 20 percent discount on workers' compensation
treatment when network providers are used
Save 20 percent discount on pharmacy service when
network providers are used
Receive next-available-room service at a Capital
Region clinic when participants "call-ahead" to notify staff
that an injury has occurred that day
Case
Management
CRMC's "point-of-injury" case managers go a
step beyond the programs offered by many group health managed care plans. Cases
can be managed from the point of injury by trained registered nurses to ensure
that health care services are used appropriately, and that a treatment plan
is developed and stringently monitored. Case management is offered seven days
a week, twenty-four hours a day and is done by case managers located at CRMC.
