Workplace Related Injuries

Patients who have been injured on the job are a priority for OAH. We understand the importance of a prompt and thorough evaluation so that individuals can get back to work and minimize the impact of lost wages.

  • We provide priority treatment for work place injuries and value the importance of rapid evaluation, diagnosis, and creation of a treatment plan for a successful recovery.
  • A dedicated Workers’ Compensation Coordinator organizes the required authorizations and paperwork, and also serves as a liaison between the patient, employer, payers, and medical providers. 
  • The OAH team minimizes the hassles for work related injuries by providing timely medical reports, rapid response to claim adjuster inquiries, and frequent updates on patient progress.
  • We provide prompt and specific return to work instructions so that patients can resume work with modified work restrictions when appropriate.

We are highly respected for our workers’ compensation related care. We are invited by the State of Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Commission to help develop clinical protocols and standards.
