First, WorkNet created one of the finest workers' compensation networks of medical care providers
that can be found in the State. It is specific to
workers' compensation and all of the medical providers will treat workers' compensation injuries. Every
physician in WorkNet's network is "credentialed" to ensure that only
the highest quality physicians are in the network. The criteria WorkNet uses to evaluate these
providers are some of the most strict and comprehensive in the healthcare industry.
Second, the WorkNet program was designed utilizing the "gatekeeper" model for managed care. In
Tulsa and Oklahoma City and throughout Oklahoma, WorkNet has contracted with clinics and physicians
that specialize in occupational medicine. Initial, non-emergency medical care is provided by one of
these network facilities. While location and convenience are important criteria, the most important
factors that we consider when contracting with one of these clinics are quality of care, communication
and a philosophy of returning employees to work. These clinics know the importance of these issues for
the employer and their insurance carrier. The physicians in these clinics will evaluate the injured
worker, write appropriate medical restrictions and then refer him or her to a specialist, if necessary.
WorkNet's medical management staff reviews all referral requests to ensure appropriateness.
WorkNet's statewide network includes more than 1,100 specialists, 45 hospitals, 89 medical clinics, 25 surgery centers, 32 occupational clinics and more than 150 physical therapy locations. Each of these providers is contracted with the additional
10% discount off the Oklahoma Workers' Compensation Medical Fee Schedule. Treatment with a WorkNet
Provider = Medical Cost Savings.
