Hello to all CM's. I just joined this site because I am particularly interested in communicating with other CM's involved in worker's comp case management. I am an independent; however, I work with claims and claimants from a variety of states and would be interested in developing a network of other CM's to answer occasional questions regarding specific state laws/rules, doctors, etc. For example, I have now learned (the hard way) that if a claimant in Georgia refuses CM services, a CM cannot be involved in any aspect of the claim, and in TN, CM is mandated by law when claims costs reach $2500.
Anyone else interested in communicating and developing a network within this network? And certainly, I would always be more than happy to share info regarding Texas!
Thanks and hope to hear from you.
Susan
