Case management provides a crucial role in keeping claims on track and achieving return to work or maximum medical improvement. However, as COVID-19 restrictions present new challenges in claims management, payers are asking what to do and how to ensure injured employees stay on track with their care protocol and meet their RTW/MMI goals.

Genex experts shared important insights based on clinical best practices and real-life case strategies to help you move claims forward in the face of COVID-19 restrictions, challenges, and possible exposure.

Why Use Antidepressants to Treat Pain?

Why use antidepressants to treat pain? The nation’s focus on the ongoing opioid epidemic and stricter guidelines on opioid prescribing has led to an increased utilization of non-opioid pain treatments in workers’ compensation. In a previous blog post, we looked at the use of anticonvulsants to treat pain because of their ability to create effective pain relief without the cravings, tolerance, or addiction issues that are typically associated with narcotics. Another therapeutic class commonly used to treat chronic pain is antidepressants, which may even be prescribed when depression is not a diagnosed condition for the injured worker.
