CorporateCare

MedExpress CorporateCare functions to assist businesses in preventative care, testing and clinical services. After an injury, case managers serve as communication liaisons between patients, referral sources and employers to keep all parties up-to-date on an employee’s return-to-work process. Through this program, MedExpress also offers contractual services, plant visits and consultation to employers in order to help in developing an occupational medicine program tailored to their needs [cite web
