Dr. Kamran Abdo, Providing Options For Worker's Comp Patients

LAS VEGAS - June 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Worker's Compensation is a confusing issue for those facing it, and being injured on the job takes a situation where the regular routine of daily employment is turned upside down and with little guidance to the injured party.  When an employee is injured on the job and seeks restitution and compensation for their injuries, the process is handled most times through a legal agreement to not seek legal restitution beyond a settlement provided through the employer's "worker's comp insurance" policy, which is a mandatory insurance that must be kept up to date by the employer in order to maintain compliance within their state.  Workers injured on the job agree to not sue the employer for negligence beyond the scope of the policy, and the employer in return allows workers to not be hindered by legal costs in receiving their settlement.  The drawback to worker's comp cases, as is the situation with many "injury oriented" cases, is that although the patient needs treatment, surgeries and therapies immediately, the process of the worker's comp case may be lengthy, and settlement may not come for an extended period of time.  A solution to this issue is a third party providing financing of the treatments immediately through a legal arrangement that they will be compensated from the settlement.  Dr. Kamran Abdo created Med-Care Solutions a decade ago to provide this type of medical financing.

Through his experience founding and  running one of the largest multi-disciplinary clinics on the West Coast, Dr. Abdo took note of the large pool of injured workers in California and Nevada who were in need of treatment but were not able to secure it until after settlement of their cases, due to the fact that the legal process of the worker's comp system in the states was backlogged by the volume of claims.  Although the worker's comp system itself was put in place in order to protect both workers and employers, it was flawed in it's inability to provide treatment in a reasonable time frame simply due to the hesitation of doctors and medical facilities to treat these patients on the promise of being compensated for their services after the case was settled.  "Many medical providers simply felt that worker's comp cases were too risky to take on, because their only guarantee of payment would be if it was settled in the worker's favor," Dr. Abdo stated.  "Med-Care Solutions was created to provide alternative forms of medical financing that would get the treatment providers paid for their services in a timely manner, and therefore provide them with the confidence to treat these types of patients.  This arrangement gets the patients the treatments they need immediately, helping them to improve their quality of life.  It is a win-win situation for all involved.  The medical facilities are guaranteed to be paid for their services, and the patients get the treatments they need without having to wait."

Kamran Abdo draws upon his vast experience in the medical field to continually develop new and innovative financing options and develop methods to streamline and improve the process through Med-Care Solutions and its affiliates.  The programs have become a successful revenue generator for many medical facilities through referrals, and the relationships between providers, attorneys, workers and employers is less strained through the professional case management that Med-Care Solutions provides.  "Every party in these cases is depending on others to do their part in order to move the process along to settlement," Dr. Abdo reiterated.  "Our business is assisting everyone involved to come to an amicable and fair case conclusion." Injured workers involved in worker's comp cases are able to worry about one less thing, and concentrate on healing.
