'for cause' screening
are you spending too much?
HCC can save you money. We strive to manage any medical failure without the additional expense of a physician’s referral, unless it is deemed necessary. It is all too easy just to book in another appointment and physician referrals are booked in as a matter of course by many other occupational health providers.
As an example, this happens in cases where sometimes all it would take is a simple conversation with a patient’s own general practitioner to resolve the issue.
HCC are different, if there is a better and simpler route for our clients, which also means that your worker will be back on track quicker, we will use it!
