Reed Group has long provided customers with its DisabilityGuidelines™ and LeavePro® SaaS (News - Alert) solution.

Now with ReedConsults, customers can access case management round-table review services to support them with their difficult absence cases. They will have the ability to address a broad range of complex medical cases and clinical questions by consulting directly with Reed Group's experienced team of nurse case managers.

Reed Group's nurses will respond quickly to round-table cases with our customers, bringing specialties in a variety of fields including bhavioral health, orthopedics, cardiology, OB/GYN, occupational health, oncology, pain management and many more, with credentials including: RN, BSN, LPN, LPC, CCM (News - Alert), COHN, COHN-S, CAC lll, MA, LPC, MA Ed., VRC, and CRC.



"DisabilityGuidelines and LeavePro are used by organizations of all sizes to help reduce employee absence," said Guerriero. "But sometimes additional review is required for complicated clinical cases or in extreme instances where fraud and abuse are suspected. ReedConsults provides a highly effective solution to improve claims outcomes, maintain workforce productivity and protect the health and safety of employees."
