What is a "Workers’ Compensation Managed Care Arrangement"?
A Workers’ Compensation Managed Care Arrangement is one that’s used by Workers’ Compensation carriers to administer their cases. If the managed care agency is not administering the case properly, one must file a complaint or grievance, meaning a written complaint which must be filed before an employee is able to file a petition for benefits. The managed care arrangement just adds another level of bureaucracy to the Workers’ Compensation system and is essentially a very frustrating means through which an injured worker has to grovel to get adequate medical care from a recalcitrant Workers’ Compensation carrier.
