Our approach

3-hab has provided a proven system since 1994 for returning injured workers to jobs quickly and safely. Our physician case managers medically manage prompt, appropriate care for injured employees, while keeping employers informed of their employee’s progress.

Our philosophy

3-hab uses ONLY Orthopedic, Occupational Medicine and Dental physicians to make medical decisions on all claims.

3-hab believes that the Physician of Record POR holds the employer's bottom line in their hands depending how efficient and effective an injured worker's claim is managed. 3-hab's PHYSICIAN Case Manager's interaction with the POR in a PEER to PEER relationship to discuss alternative treatment has been IMPERATIVE for us to cooperatively save hundreds of thousands of dollars for employers.

COMMUNICATION AMONG ALL IMPORTANT PARTIES

Our Medical Director, Associate Medical Directors, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer are willing participants in the problem solving process, therefore keeping the lines of communication always open.

Why 3-hab?

Each day, 3-hab takes steps towards our goal to resolve workers compensation claims with the expertise of our physician case managers which leads to an employer’s success.

3-hab physicians proactively manage ALL claims ensuring timely and effective treatment

3-hab provides unique management tools in the MCO world by ONLY utilizing physicians to manage claims. Claim management is done by orthopedic, chiropractic, internal, occupational medicine, psychologist and dentists. These Physician Case Managers approve/deny reimbursement and take the next step and call the Physician of Record POR to discuss treatment when necessary.

Minimize lost time/compensation that ultimately saves premium dollars.

3-hab’s physicians speak directly to the POR concerning a release to return the injured worker safely back to work when time off work is not appropriate

3-hab's proprietary computer system

Employer’s have access to our portal which provides real time claim information, interactive OSHA reporting and many multi-faceted management reports.

3-hab’s physicians frequently consult with the employers and discuss difficult cases.

This provides clarification on claim activity and provides an opportunity for the employer to ask questions.

3-hab’s physicians call the lost time injured worker to check status

3-hab physicians may identify possible issues and work proactively to avoid/resolve issues.

One Point of Contact

3-hab believes continuity is important so we provide a one point contact who knows the employers claims and maintains an open line of communication with the employer.

Eliminate "Run-away" claims

Our physicians are highly successful in obtaining work releases that typically minimize if not eliminate compensation, therefore controlling the drain on an employer’s premium.

MoD score is the MCO measurement on this year’s BWC report card

The MoD measures the ability to get the injured worker back to work which is managed by the MCO. MoD is impacted by the willingness of companies (union and non-union) to allow the injured worker to return to work. 3-hab specializes in taking challenging claims and turning them into success stories.

Manage Unnecessary Medical Procedures

Our physicians manage all services even those that fall under presumptive authorization at the beginning of a claim to ensure appropriate services to pay.

Easy Access Customization

Employer’s have access to our portal which provides real time claim information, interactive OSHA reporting and many multi-faceted management reports.

Testimonials

Clients Talk About Us

Injured Worker

"My hands and arms are my livelihood, so when they were injured in an accident at work, you can imagine my fears and concerns. The first doctor who examined me gave me a lengthy prognosis and said, "This is a workers comp injury and that takes more time." We talked to Kimber at 3-hab and they got the ball rolling fast. They set me up with a fantastic surgeon to discuss options and set a date for my surgery. All within two weeks! My doctor said workers comp claims hardly ever move this fast. My surgery was a success thanks to the fantastic surgeon and the get-it-done attitude of Kimber at 3-hab. Kimber called me a myriad of times to make sure everything was getting done and checked in to see how I was doing. She was very personable and professional. I felt at ease knowing that 3-hab was taking care of my claim. When you're injured, its nice to know there's someone in your corner. Thanks for being there Kimber, and thanks 3-hab!"

Scherzinger Drilling

"You do not realize how good or poor your MCO is until you get a claim that presents problems. Such is the case for us when we had a claim that blossomed into more than it was supposed to be. We are still in the process of dealing with this claim. Our previous MCO allowed bills to go through that should not have been paid. When we first met with 3-hab, they gave us information that I had no idea existed on forms and things that should be done by an MCO. The fact that they have physician case managers makes me feel much more secure in knowing a claim will be handled properly with someone looking out for my best interest. If there is a question I have on a claim, I can easily talk to a real person! 3-hab stays in touch with you regarding the treatment and progress of a claim. While this sounds exactly what an MCO should be doing for you, I can attest that not all do. We have only had 3-hab as our MCO for about a year. Fortunately for our company, we do not have a lot of claims. I just know that I feel much more confident in their ability to handle a claim properly than our previous MCO."

Kathleen Scherzinger - Vice President

Craftsman Electric

“My company has worked with 3-hab as our MCO for workers compensation for eight years. I can not say enough about the service I receive. After working with another MCO, there is no comparison. My employees receive faster and better care because of 3-hab`s physician claims management. This results with both happier employees and lower workers compensation costs. It has been a win-win for my company."

Kathleen Fischer, President Craftsman Electric
