Injured on the Job? Finding a Quality Provider Now Made Simpler Through Intracorp's Enhanced Online Tool

PHILADELPHIA, April 25, 2006— Employers say that quality is the most important criteria when seeking providers for injured workers, according to a recent online poll from Intracorp, a leading provider of disability management services. Well over half of employers who responded rated quality as the most important factor, followed by discounts and network size and scope. Now employers have an enhanced way to find quality providers, through Find a Provider, an online tool introduced today on Intracorp’s website at www.intracorp.com.

“Find a Provider is a versatile web site that gives employers more quality control and functionality when seeking providers from Intracorp’s vast network of more than 700,000 providers,” says Fred Scardellette, Vice President, Marketing and Product Development for Intracorp. A key advantage of the tool, says Scardellette, is its ability to highlight “best practice” providers, those with the best medical outcomes, according to treatment guidelines, in the least number of visits. The capability was developed through a detailed evaluation of Intracorp network providers against peers in their specialty groups, such as chiropractic and orthopedic.

“We are making it easier for employers to quickly access providers with the best outcomes experience so they can pass that information along to their injured workers,” says Scardellette. “The goal for all parties is to make sure employees receive the most appropriate treatment as quickly as possible, so they can get on the road to recovery and ultimately get back to work sooner.”

With 24/7 access to current provider information, the site also provides the following enhanced benefits:

• The database sorts by distance, provider name or specialty.
• Driving directions may be sent to a cell phone.
• Intracorp provides customized worksite provider panel cards that are:
• Printable by the employer for faster posting,
• Available for single or multiple sites, in English or Spanish,
• Archived and retrievable for up to two years, and
• State compliant.
