MedRisk’s Ruth Estrich Discusses Expanded Role of PTs at Lockton Conference

July 5, 2016 by WorkCompWire

King of Prussia, PA – MedRisk’s Chief Strategy Officer Ruth Estrich will present a strategic approach to managing physical medicine treatment and costs in workers’ compensation at the Lockton Southeast Claims Consultant Conference on July 18. MedRisk, Inc. is a leader in managed physical medicine and diagnostic imaging services for workers’ compensation.

Estrich will stress how physical medicine differs from other medical services and will highlight the key strategies to effectively return injured workers to pre-injury functionality. She will also discuss the growing importance of the role of physical therapists in reducing dependence on opioids and in identifying and resolving psychosocial barriers to recovery.

“Restoring functionality is at the heart of what physical therapists do,” Estrich said. “The future will see them more involved in managing pain and more broadly involved in all aspects of the biopsychosocial model of disability management.”

The Lockton Southeast Series Claims Consultant Conference will be held in Atlanta on July 18. Lockton Companies Inc. is the world’s largest privately held insurance brokerage firm, providing insurance, risk management and employee benefits solutions. In addition to its Kansas City, Missouri headquarters, Lockton operates 64 locations in 17 countries. Lockton currently employs more than 5,300 Associates worldwide.
