Worker's Compensation Cost Containment Program
Workers' Compensation costs continue to rise, making payment of

trend, APD offers employers our Workers' Compensation Cost Containment
program (WCCC).
The WCCC program provides a cost-effective, managed care approach
to rehabilitating the injured employee and facilitating a safe return
to work. Our case managers coordinate and oversee the medical and
rehabilitative processes through open communication and sharing of
information among the employee, employer, and medical provider.
Services include:
- Comprehensive network of medical providers
- Assistance in scheduling of timely referral appointments with specialists
- Independent medical examinations
- Assistance with modified duty programs
- Coordination of "safe return to work"

that companies protect employee health and safety by implementing
certain screening and surveillance programs. Our programs meet OSHA
requirements and provide consultation in:
- Hearing conservation

time and liability costs.
Our staff can assist in establishing a substance abuse
prevention/intervention program. We offer DOT and non-DOT drug and
alcohol testing for employers, in accordance with all federal and state
regulations. Laboratory drug testing is performed at SAMHSA - certified
facilities and Certified Breath Alcohol Technicians (BAT's) conduct
breath alcohol tests on up-to-date equipment. Dr. Collins, APD's
Medical Review Officer (MRO), reviews all drug screens.
Occupational Health Service is a Certified Collection Facility, performing well over 2,000 drug screens per year.
