Employers

 The Lines of Communication Are Wide Open
  • We provide one point of contact for all workers' compensation issues.
  • We can provide direct access to all resources and support.
  • We employ liaisons who serve as a direct link to our physicians - questions and needs will be handled promptly.
  • We understand the occasional need to speak directly with a physician about complicated cases. That's why our physicians are accessible to adjusters/nurse case managers.

For further information or to schedule an appointment, please call our Workers' Compensation Liaison (Direct Line) (814) 942-1166, ext 207.

Prompt Service
  • Return calls same day - All phone calls will be returned before the end of the business day in which the message was received.
  • Immediate appointments - Don't wait to have a patient seen for an emergency. We will accommodate all emergency appointment requests.
  • Timely reporting - Our reports are faxed within 24-48 hours of evaluation.
Return-to-Work Status

We recognize the importance for adjusters to know the status of an injured worker. Work status reports will be faxed directly to the appropriate parties before the close of business on the day of the appointment.

Respect for Accepted Condition

An injured employee will only be seen for the condition that has been approved. Assigned diagnosis codes will correspond directly with the approved accepted condition.

Testimonials

"Blair Orthopedics has been extremely helpful in scheduling our employees promptly and keeping us, the employer, informed of their treatment and progress. Blair Orthopedics automatically faxes us a work status update after treating our employees. We don't need to call and request information like we do with most other providers." - Karen Rose, New Enterprise Stone & Lime CO., Inc.

"Having a direct telephone extension to a real person at Blair Orthopedics allows me to receive answers to any questions in a timely manner." - Cheri Maher, Ward Trucking, LLC

"Blair Orthopedics is a provider who cares about the patient...as well as the employer. They realize that keeping the employee off work isn't always the best way to go. However, if the employee needs to be kept off work, they will do so. They will not jeopardize their patients' health. I like the balance they maintain between the employee and the employer. I've had very good experiences with Blair Orthopedics." - Christine Bender, Sheetz, Inc.
