Safety Managers,

Did you know that physical therapy costs almost three times as much in workers’ comp as it does in group health, and workers’ comp patients are 45% more likely to receive physical therapy than group health patients?

While it’s true that physical therapy accessibility for work-related injuries has been encouraged at the state level to help reduce surgery and opioid prescriptions, this only applies to serious injuries.

What is often overlooked is how many minor workplace injuries are being sent to physical therapy when they can be treated just as effectively with over-the-counter pain medications and at-home exercises.

Read our blog to understand why you may be overpaying for physical therapy: https://www.ironboundms.com/unnecessary-therapy-why-your-business-might-be-overpaying-for-employee-physical-rehabilitation

If a new hire is not physically fit to perform their job, the likelihood of them suffering an injury skyrockets. No employer wants to deal with their new hire missing time, or the high OSHA recordables, medical bills, and insurance premiums that come with it.

Fewer injuries also mean less time spent speaking to doctors, insurance companies, and looking for replacement workers.

Therefore, we believe that pre-employment physicals serve as an investment in a healthy workforce that will save managers significant time, money, and frustration.
