Workers Comp: A Physician's Primer

00:00 /

No matter how safe the workplace is, injuries and illness occur. Georgia now has over 4 million workers >16 years of age and in the most recent statistics available, over 87,000 injuries were reported annually. In GA alone, over $1.5 billion in benefits were paid and this does not include the associated health care expenses! Medical costs now outweigh (60%) the indemnity costs. Also of note in GA, there is a shortage of qualified physicians that treat occupational injuries and illness as we have only one fifth of the recommended ratio of 1 MD/1000 employees. On July 1, 2013 GA enacted new law (GA House Bill 154)that increased slightly the weekly workers comp benefit, but capped the benefit for less serious work related injuries. Every employer with over 3 employees is mandated to have workers comp insurance.

Workers Compensation is an accident insurance program, paid for by employers, which may provide workers with medical, rehabilitation and income if an employee is injured or becomes ill on the job. Physicians are a key part of the workers compensation system as they are a pivotal point in getting the employee connected to appropriate treatment, focused on recovery, minimizing life disruption and assisting with developing a return to work plan. Providers often find themselves “the go-between” for the employer, carrier and injured employee. This program will not focus on the legalities or politics of the workers comp system, but on the provision of high quality occupational health by providers.

In this segment, Dr. Charles Cooley, a board-certified Family Practice physician who is an expert at treating occupational health patients through the workers comp system will discuss the basic concepts of the workers comp system, common types of workers comp injuries, special considerations when handling workers comp patient cases and tips for employers and patients in navigating through the medical aspects of the workers comp program.

Dr. Charles Cooley

MD from Medical College of GA in Augusta
Completed residency at Huntsville Hospital
Board certified in Family Practice
Affiliated with Northside Hospital, Cherokee Campus
In private practice with urgent care centers in Canton, Villa Rica

How much does Trade Show Radio cost? – Business RadioX

September 2, 2013 by angishields

Lee

The cost varies, according to the amount of time that we’re there and how many days that we’re there. What’s the range though?

Stone

The investment is a daily fee, and it ranges from as little as $5,000 a day to as much as $15,000 a day. The variables are the talent that we deploy and the status of the client. For clients who are part of the Business RadioX® Network family, obviously, we would provide them with a little bit more attractive fee schedule. Then when we deploy what we characterize as ‘premium talent’, we charge the higher-end. At the very low-end for the right type of candidate who is familiar with our work and knows how to do this, if they’re going to self-host Tradeshow Radio and we’re simply providing the infrastructure to help pull that off, then it can be as low as $5,000 a day.

Lee

We have special consideration to non-profit organizations and certain other business associations who are involved in conferences.

Stone

Absolutely. In fact here locally or in any market where we have a Business RadioX® affiliate, for select local non-profit organizations, we’ve actually set up a booth for as little as $2,500 a day.
