Broadspire Announces Prosthetic Partnership with HomeCare Connect

Broadspire, a Crawford Company, has chosen HomeCare Connect as its preferred partner for prosthetics and custom orthotics. The partnership will provide highly specialized care management services for injured workers who have undergone amputations.

"We appreciate the specialized care and cost containment this partnership brings to our clients and the injured workers we advocate for," said Erica Fichter, Broadspire's SVP of Medical Management. "Our mission of restoring lives, businesses and communities is something we live every day and this partnership will bring it to life for those who need it most."

Early intervention, expert clinical guidance and empathetic communication drive the prosthetics and custom orthotics program, which:

• Conducts a lifestyle assessment
• Identifies qualified providers
• Provides clinical, peer-to-peer counseling
• Helps select prosthetics
• Oversees care through the life of the claim
• Provides prospective and retrospective bill review

"This high-touch, clinically driven approach ensures injured workers receive the most appropriate care and prostheses at fair and reasonable costs," said HomeCare Connect's CEO Teresa Williams.
