For Insurance Companies & Workers Compensation Specialists
When an individual
with a personal or work-related injury fails to respond to
standard medical treatment, or when pain becomes chronic and
recovery stalls due to unexplained complications apart from
obvious medical origins, an expensive and often frustrating
process begins.
When this occurs, the patient, the payer, the
employer, and the various treatment providers often engage in
oppositional and counter-therapeutic behavior, or resort to
non-standard practices to gain closure. This usually results in
increased costs, reduced patient satisfaction, and prolonged
case resolution. That's where we can help!
healthWORKZ
specializes in assessment and treatment services for individuals
suffering with unremitting health problems, chronic
pain, functional overlay, delayed recovery syndrome, or
those demonstrating abnormal illness behavior.
Our
comprehensive psychological assessment process is designed to
gather bio-psychosocial data that helps explain a patient’s
delayed recovery, stalled progress, or declines in previous
levels of functioning unrelated to apparent medical factors. Our
assessment includes:
- Robust diagnostic assessment with
comprehensive differential diagnostic and prognostic
feedback
- Psychological roadblocks to the patient’s medical
recovery (e.g., personality characteristics,
psychopathology)
- Feedback to medical providers to strengthen
the physician-patient relationship
- Psychological factors
contributing to maladaptive patient responses to medical
treatment & general health
- Factors associated with secondary
gain issues (e.g., entitlement, revenge, responsibility
avoidance)
- Assessment of unconscious vs. volitional
motivations (i.e., somatoform disorder, factitious disorder,
malingering)
- Assessment of diminished mental functioning and
return to work capacity from a psychological & adaptive
perspective
- Assessment of the patient’s beliefs, attitude,
motivations, emotional stability, and willingness/capacity
to benefit from psychological treatment
- Data that supports
specific psychological treatment interventions
- Specific
psychotherapeutic goals, targeted outcomes, and associated
time parameters
Vocational Assessments
We provide comprehensive vocational assessments, addressing
return to work issues and corresponding functional capacities.
