What Is a Medical Case Manager?
From the moment a case commences and throughout an individual’s recovery process, a medical case manager can be instrumental in advocating for the patient’s needs and giving grounds for the type & level of care they need over time as a result of their injury/illness.
To help ensure that the patient receives the necessary care to facilitate their rehabilitation, a medical case manager will be available to coordinate care as needed, working closely with both the patient and their medical providers.
At Cardinal LifeCare, we provide a network of dedicated, knowledgeable licensed nursing professionals who are qualified to serve as medical case managers. Our comprehensive range of injury case management services includes:

- Staying in touch with healthcare providers – To help the patient stay on track and optimize their rehabilitation, our medical case managers will communicate with their physicians and other healthcare specialists to verify that proper treatment is being administered and monitor their progress.
- Coordinating the patient’s return to work – If/when a patient is ready to go back to work, our medical case managers can help arrange for their return and support them through the process. They can also advise on reinjury prevention and steps to keep the patient safe, as well as assist in the event of a return-to-work dispute.
