NEWNAN, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ATF Medical, a leading provider of complex workers’ compensation care solutions, today announced the launch of its Catastrophic Care Advantage, a proactive offering designed to dramatically improve outcomes for catastrophic workplace injury claims while lowering costs for payers and employers.
Catastrophic claims represent just 1% of workers’ compensation cases but account for up to 20% of total claim costs, with individual claims often exceeding $1 million. The Catastrophic Care Advantage addresses this challenge by delivering early, preventative engagement that ensures injured workers have the right equipment, housing modifications, and clinical support in place before discharge—preventing costly complications and hospital readmittance.
“The first days after a catastrophic injury set the tone for the entire recovery journey,” said Susan Nelson, Chief Executive Officer at ATF Medical. “Our program puts proven strategies in place early, giving injured workers the best chance at independence while helping payers and employers stabilize claim costs. It’s about transforming chaos into coordinated care.”
Key Program Features Include:
- Immediate Nurse Case Manager Engagement: Rapid intervention that accelerates discharge readiness and recovery.
- Early Assessments for Home & Equipment Needs: Proactive preparation that prevents readmittance and ensures safety.
- Nationwide, Clinically Driven Coordination: Consistent, expert support across all geographies.
