At MDM, we understand that after an illness or injury the road to recovery can be lengthy. That is why we believe that an early start in assisting someone back to a healthy work state is essential.

Early Intervention Program

MDM’s Early Intervention Program concentrates on one’s ability, not disability. Therefore, our aim is to assist the plan member in finding the right tools and solutions for a timely recovery, with the intention of returning the plan member to their previous, or modified job.

Our integrated approach to disability management includes actively involving the plan member, employer, primary physician, and other treatment providers. This allows us to focus not just on the illness or injury, but also on other issues that may be impeding the plan member’s progress and return to work.
