Lost work time due to occupational injuries costs businesses in the United States well over $100 BILLION dollars a year in revenue. In Pennsylvania alone, over 100,000 work-related injuries cost state businesses over $2.5 BILLION in medical and indemnity compensation annually.
These figures do NOT include the peripheral impacts of work injury—decreased productivity, premium increases and overtime costs. Couple that with a Workers’ Compensation procedure that is difficult to manage, and slow diagnosis and treatment of your workers, and it would seem that business should just accept these costly facts…as facts of life.
Not so with WorkWell Physical Medicine, Inc.
