Resolve Worker Compensation Claims with Objective Evidence
The Physical Capacity Profile® Testing (PCP) System can be used to protect and defend clients with non-biased, baseline data that can make settling claims much easier and fairer. Here are just a few of the benefits:
- (PCP) tests meet ADA, EEOC, HIPAA, DOL, and AMA guidelines
- Receive documentable, objective computerized data with no hand-written, subjective opinions on pass/fail
- Baseline data assists medical teams in rehabilitation and reduces post-injury settlements.
- Credit/discounts available for workers’ compensation premiums
- Reduces claims cost and time
- PCP tests provide information that protects employers against false or inaccurate claims.
- Many claims do not end up in court due to utilizing the PCP test
What Legal Professionals Say About PCP
“More employers are giving these tests so doctors have objective data to base findings on, which means it’s admissible in court. With these tests, the employer and the employees will have the evidence they need to prove in court the extent of injury.”
Rebecca Tatlow, Workers Compensation Attorney
“As a Workers Compensation defense attorney, I frequently receive new assignments and wish I had a “before picture” to compare to the “after picture” once an employee has achieved maximum medical improvement.”
Jerry Harmison, Jr., Attorney
