SafeWorks Illinois for Insurance Companies, TPAs, and Case Mgrs.

When a worker is injured, we understand both the worker and the employer have questions, concerns and costs associated with the injury but so does the insurance company and the case manager assigned to the employee. At SafeWorks Illinois, we keep the lines of communication open with prompt and regular communication with injured workers, employers, physicians and insurance companies through all treatment phases.

We have been serving the Central Illinois market since 1985 and our program is well known within the legal and insurance community for our straight forward approach to providing credible Independent Medical Evaluation (IME) and Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE) reports that are helpful in case closure and resolution.

Work Hardening and Conditioning

At the SafeWorks Illinois Return to Work Center, we design work conditioning and work hardening programs to restore the injured worker’s quality of life by improving flexibility, mobility, strength, endurance and tolerance of full-duty work tasks. In addition, we assist the psychological adaptation in coping with a work-related injury by applying a variety of treatments to this process.

Low Back Evaluations

SafeWorks Illinois offers a low back testing device to evaluate strength and mobility during rotation, flexion/extension, and lateral flexion. It measures range of motion, speed of movement, and effort generated by and individual moving against various loads. A low back evaluation can provide a quick and objective means to evaluate low back dysfunction clinically and objectively document test validity using a non-physiological indicator score.

The SafeWorks Difference...

"I recently had arranged for an injured worker to undergo a FCE [at SafeWorks Illinois]. This case was very long, complex, and difficult. The results of your efforts to sort through barriers, and provide insight in an understandable and concrete fashion, was the tool enabling resolution of the case at 50% less than the prior direction by the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Court. The time and expense of sending injured people to your clinic for evaluation was returned to my office 200% in savings.”
