Localized strategy, national strength
For over 40 years, our belief in local healthcare has driven our approach to PPO networks for workers’ comp. We’ve reimagined the traditional PPO model to deliver regionally optimized access, customized configurations and measurable savings that outperform national averages. Our network structure blends best-in-class savings and penetration — not just nationally, but precisely where you need it most. With our flexible, data-driven model, clients can align network access with their population’s geographic footprint. Our localized precision translates into:
• Greater network penetration at preferred rates
• Improved provider access in complex jurisdictions
• Simplified administration for adjusters
• Stronger policyholder satisfaction and retention
Workers’ comp PPO networks tailor-made for you
Our PPO strategy isn’t one-size-fits-all. We build custom network mosaics by state or region, combining:
Direct contracts through our proprietary Careworks PPO
Dynamic network optimization for increased savings and penetration
State-certified networks that meet jurisdictional and compliance standards
Specialty network for telemedicine, diagnostics, durable medical equipment (DME), home health and more
We focus exclusively on the contracts that deliver the best results for you and bottom line. Our business rules operate at the provider level, ensuring the deepest discounts are prioritized — especially at high-cost facilities like hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.
