Me too! 👜

Greetings! Sedgwick is the bane of Worker’s Compensation claims. I am a Work Comp nurse case manager and have been for about 30 years now. I am also the daughter of an AA employee and wife of an AA employee. Things are certainly not looking brighter for either. The best thing that could ever happen is any and all airlines find another TPA to handle their Work Comp claims. That is an incredible uphill battle. That would be well worth the fight if won. I would like to make it clear that nurse Case Managers do not work directly for Sedgwick, but rather for Case Management companies. Although some Case Management companies have the same goal in mind that Sedgwick. I have my own company now, and I am very hesitant to even accept a Sedgwick file for reasons stated in the article. I know doctors that will no longer accept a Sedgwick Work Comp file because of the difficulty. I personally was thrown off of a file because I was working so hard to make sure the FA that was my patient, was receiving the care that they needed. I would like to proudly say that they did get the care with a competent doctor in a timely manner and returned to her job and no longer has a shoulder problem. But I did not allow that claims adjuster to delay the care. In essence I was a squeaky wheel and in order to shut me up medical care was authorized. Needless to say that claim adjuster did not like me very much. Mission accomplished. https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f60a.svg. I love taking care of my patients, but it makes me ill seeing what happens and is happening. If for any reason, I have a Sedgwick file, I will continue to advocate and care for my patient and push the boundaries to the best of my ability so that my patient(s), get the actual medical care they need.
