Montana defines rural healthcare in America - - and the issues surrounding access to quality medical care. With fewer primary care physicians available, more injured workers are initially treated by advanced practitioners—nurse practitioners and physician assistants. WCRI recently released a study highlighting how early care from these providers influences treatment patterns and claim outcomes. The study draws on detailed claims and medical data from 29 states (Montana is not included), covering over 80 percent of workers’ compensation benefits paid. It includes injuries from October 1, 2012, to September 30, 2022, and tracks outcomes up to 6 or 12 months postinjury.
Based on the study, this webinar will:
- Document changes between the involvement of advanced practitioners and primary care physicians between 2013 and 2022
- Discuss the differences, if any, in patient claim experience and claim outcomes after being initially treated by an advanced practitioner rather than a primary care physician
- Review the differences in timing of first nonemergency care, use of specialty care, medical costs, and duration of temporary disability as a result of initial treatment by an advanced practitioner
