How does the work of a VRC help the industrial insurance claim?
A VRC provides specialized knowledge of specific jobs and labor market and has the skills to compare that information to the documentation gathered by medical professionals in order to draw conclusions about an individual’s ability to work. A VRC has unique experience in preparing job descriptions and extracting relevant medical information to address those jobs. A VRC assures that employers are educated in the appropriateness of offering light duty, temporary, or transitional return to work. A VRC also provides a personal contact for injured workers to assist in answering their questions and dispersing information about the industrial insurance process. Finally, a VRC facilitates open communication between all parties involved in the claim assuring a timely closure.
