title: Workers' comp care. Part 1.
abstract: The care of an injured employee often is a significant challenge for the clinician. While workers' compensation and group health share similarities, there are differences in regulations. In addition to addressing the injury, the doctor also must supply documentation and interact with a claims adjuster and/or case manager more frequently than with an HMO or PPO patient with the identical condition.
