Medical Coordination Insights for Legal & Claims Professionals — Issue No. 5

Founder's Note — Halfway There, and Cases Still Need to Move

We've crossed into May, which means Q2 is in full swing and the pressure to close files before summer hits is real. Every year around this time, I hear the same thing from attorneys and adjusters: treatment stalled, the case is stuck, and no one can figure out where things went sideways.

More often than not, it comes down to one thing — physical therapy dropout. An injured worker misses two sessions, the provider closes the slot, and suddenly there's no active treatment on file. Without treatment, there's no progress. Without progress, there's no resolution.

That's exactly the kind of gap Claims & Kinnect Solutions was built to close. This month, we're shining a light on rehabilitation coordination — why it matters, what gets in the way, and how proactive scheduling keeps your cases on track all the way through resolution.

"An untreated claimant is an unresolved case. Keep the treatment moving and the file moves with it."

Industry Insight: The Hidden Cost of Physical Therapy Dropout in PI & WC Cases

Physical therapy is one of the most prescribed treatments in personal injury and workers' compensation cases — and one of the most commonly interrupted. Here's why that matters for your file:

4 Reasons PT Cases Stall — And What to Do About Each One

• Transportation barriers: The injured worker can't get to the clinic. Solution: confirm logistics at intake and flag early if there's no reliable transport plan.
• Provider slot loss: Missed appointments cause the clinic to release recurring time slots. Solution: same-day rebooking calls prevent permanent slot forfeiture.
• Authorization lapses: PT authorizations often cover a set number of visits. When those run out mid-plan, treatment stops. Solution: track visit counts and initiate extension requests 5 days before expiration.
• Communication breakdown: The injured worker doesn't know they can reschedule or thinks the case is closed. Solution: proactive confirmation calls before every appointment — not just reminders, but conversations.

Quick Tip: Schedule PT in Blocks, Not One Visit at a Time

Service Spotlight: Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Coordination

Our PT & Rehabilitation Coordination service is designed for PI and WC attorneys and adjusters who need consistent, documented treatment progress without chasing the injured worker or the clinic.

What's included with every PT coordination:

• Initial provider search and confirmation of WC/PI acceptance
• Block scheduling — 4 to 6 sessions booked at intake
• Pre-appointment confirmation calls to the injured worker (48 hours out)
• No-show follow-up and same-day rebooking when needed
• Authorization visit-count tracking with extension request initiation
• Appointment summary documentation forwarded to referring party
• Monthly activity logs for cases on retainer

For firms managing multiple PT cases at once, our monthly retainer tiers offer better per-visit value and priority turnaround times.

Case Snapshot: Six Sessions. Three Weeks. Back on Track.

Real-world result — details changed for confidentiality.

Situation: A workers' compensation attorney referred a lumbar strain case where the injured worker had missed two consecutive PT appointments. The provider had already released the recurring slot and marked the worker as non-compliant in their system.

Action: Within 24 hours of referral, CKS contacted the clinic, explained the situation, and negotiated a new block of six sessions across three weeks. Confirmation calls were made 48 hours before each visit. All six sessions were attended and documented.

Outcome: The attorney received weekly appointment summaries. The file moved to MMI evaluation on schedule. No additional gaps. No compliance flags.
