Company Profile
IRM provides a pro-active approach to disability management.
Case management serves as a means for achieving client wellness and autonomy through advocacy, communication, education, and identification of service resources and service facilitation.
Case management is a collaborative process, which assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors and evaluates the options and services required to meet an individual's health needs, using communication and available resources to promote quality, cost-effective outcomes.
The Case Manager helps to identify appropriate providers and facilities throughout the continuum of services, while ensuring that available resources are being used in a timely and cost-effective manner in order to obtain optimum value for both the client and the reimbursement source.
The underlying premise of case management at IRM is that when an individual reaches the optimum level of wellness and functional capability, everyone benefits; the individual being served, their support systems, and the health care delivery systems and the various reimbursement sources.
A Case Manager serves as a liaison between the ill or injured person, the doctor and other treating providers, the insurer and employers to identify what services and resources are necessary to promote a return to the best level of well being. We meet with people in person, or by telephone, and often create letters and reports, all to enhance communication between all parties and the insurance company. We help the person who is sick or injured and their family to navigate the healthcare system, providing resources that will be needed to return to a productive life-style.
Case management is not a profession in itself, but an area of practice within one's profession. Certification determines that the Case Manager possesses the education, skills and experience required rendering appropriate services based on sound principles of practice.
