OUR MISSION
"Nursing is an Art: and if it is to be an Art, it Requires an Exclusive Devotion as Hard a
Preparation as any Painter’s or Sculptor’s Work"
~ Florence Nightingale
Another Florence Nightingale saying is, “Let us never consider ourselves finished nurses . . . . We must be learning all of our lives.” This bit of wisdom from Florence Nightingale exemplifies the quality of the licensed medical professionals employed by CaseMed Solutions and by extension, InsurHealth Affinity Group’s professional resources, offered to our customers.
CaseMed believes that to provide appropriate Holistic Healthcare Case Management services, that sometimes, assigning a professional team of resources will best serve the patient client and his/her employer or other affected party. CaseMed will discuss this on a case by case basis with its customers, if it appears that utilizing a team approach is a best practice for the customer to help rehabilitate the Injured Patient client.
Our Holistic Healthcare Case Management Mission is a total focus on the Interconnected Body, Mind, and Spiritual capacity of the injured patient followed by responsible Coordination of Care.
“The cure of the part should not be attempted without the cure of the whole.” ~ Plato
NURSE CASE MANAGEMENT
CaseMed Nurse Case Managers work in the field or telephonically on behalf of our claims and self-insured customers facilitating professional analysis of the injuries sustained by our customers patient employees or related personnel, particularly those individuals with catastrophic and multiple trauma injuries. Our mission is to report on the injuries, rehabilitation needs and recommended of continued coordination of care for best outcomes for our customers and their Injured Patients.
MEDICAL-LEGAL CASE MANAGEMENT
Medical-Legal Case Managers perform the same activities as Nurse Case Managers but with special emphasis on potential litigation discussions between Personal Injury Attorneys (Plaintiff Counsel) representing the patient client and Defense Counsel. Typically, our Medical-Legal Case Managers are also Paralegals or Attorneys. CaseMed does not take sides in these situations. Rather we focus on developing a “reasonable” fact-based Life Care Plan to facilitate conversations and avoid going to trial.
LEGACY CLAIMS
CaseMed, with our National Alliance with a Global Reinsurance Broker, can help claims organizations to reduce their aged claims books and associated liabilities. Alternatively, this alliance enables our claims customers to buy or sell their legacy claims to other parties, including Captives and Risk Retention Groups based on their business objectives. CaseMed plays a role in legacy claims by integrating CaseMed Nurse Case Managers, InsurHealth Affinity Group case management members, Care Bridge, Arcadia and other CaseMed or InsurHealth alliance partners. In some cases, the legacy claims owner will activate closed catastrophic claims for reassessment of the healthcare needs through the support of case management assessments.
SOCIAL WORKERS & INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOLOGY
Part of our holistic approach to Client Patient care includes using licensed Social Workers and Integrative Psychologists to address the mind and spiritual capacities of the Injured Patient. This can be the assemblance of a Case Manager, Social Worker and Psychologist. It can also be applying the same to the Client Patient’s home, family or potentially substance abuse situation. Integrative Psychology utilizes a holistic set of therapies focusing in an integrated way of helping the individual with the totality of their body, mind and spiritual needs. When CaseMed can match a Social Worker and Integrative Psychologist as a result of the outcomes of a case management assessment, this Social Worker and Psychologist team can improve the individual Patient Clients understanding of themselves and improve their behaviors through a variety of therapies addressing the Injured Patient’s condition.

LIFE CARE PLAN MANAGEMENT
Holistic Life Care Plans focus on the Injured Patient from the following lens: Body-Mind-Spiritual Rehabilitation needs and length of the rehabilitation timeframe; Loss of Income; and possibly Minor Children needs during the Injured Patient’s rehabilitation timeframe. Additionally, we recommend involving two CaseMed alliance partners that can help law firms and Injured Patient’s settlement: One is Care Bridge International that works with CaseMed on claims activities with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) data analytics that balances the Life Care Plans rehabilitation needs and costs for the Injured Patient’s Settlement. Two: Arcadia, a leading Structured Settlements broker to assist the parties for the final Settlement agreement that enables the Insured Patient to lengthen his/her share of the Settlement through cash and investments. More on Care Bridge (Medical Data Analytics) and Arcadia (Structured Settlements) below.
MEDICAL CASE ANALYSIS AND ESTIMATES
From time to time CaseMed is asked to project the costs of urgent medically necessary healthcare procedures. Sometimes it is related to setting claim reserves. Other times our customers want to determine the full scope of potential needs for immediate surgical procedures in the larger picture of immediate medical needs plus anticipated rehabilitation needs. In yet another situation our customers want a medical cost audit on hospital and other healthcare provider charges. Such situations require experienced medical expertise plus nurse case management. Through our alliance with Support Claims Services (SCS), CaseMed can provide Independent Medical Evaluations (IMEs) for Workers compensation, First Party Auto, Third Party Auto, and General Liability claims. In addition to SCS we have medical records preparation for professional expert reviews and Division Medical Evaluations (DIME) and IMEs through Front Range Medical Records and IME/Peer Review facilitation and scheduling through Expert Sourcing Solutions.
