Our Disability Absence Management program includes all the following services.
Return to Work – Our team of registered nurses will determine when your employees are safe to return to work with a Fit for Duty Exam (FFD). The FFD enables them to return to the job safely while maximizing productivity.
Medication Reviews – Appropriate medication management is instrumental in an employee’s safety and productivity when they return to their job. Axiom’s registered nurses will gauge your employees’ safety by reviewing a medication’s effectiveness, dosage, and potential side effects that could impact their ability to perform their working duties safely. HIPAA compliant medication reviews cut down on medical claim costs, lowers your short-term disability costs, and provides a quick and safe return to work.
Functional Capacity Evaluations – Do your employees have what it physically takes to do their job? Axiom Medical offers Functional Capacity Exams (FEC), which can be used during the pre-hire process to correctly determine if the employee hired can do the work activities of their job. Choose between a modified (most common) FCE or a full FCE. The Functional Capacity Exam is more comprehensive than the DOT or non-DOT physical and assesses every employee’s job function based on specific testing tailored for that role.
Personal/Short-term Disability
Our Personal and Short-term Disability program offers a complete array of quality, integrated disability case management services for employees. Our team of qualified nurses and case managers will guide you from the time of a case reporting to documentation and return to work.
Long-term Disability
Axiom Medical’s long-term disability program specializes in providing case management and employee absence management for long-term disability cases. Our multi-layer approach involves OSHA-trained nurse practitioners who deal with case management and leave management from start to finish.
They Said It!
Axiom has helped us closely monitor the injured employee’s progress through the medical treatment process. Early treatment has kept our employees at work when in the past they would have likely taken time off or been placed off by a physician.
I recommend Axiom because their Nurse Case Management Team is their biggest asset. They are accessible, give great reports and are responsive to our needs.
