Overview of services
We refer injured workers to our Medical And Return-to-Work Planning (MARP) Assessment program when we require diagnostic clarification of their musculoskeletal injury. Workers may also be assessed when we require treatment and return-to-work recommendations.
Assessments are completed by physicians who have a diploma in sports medicine or a specialty in occupational medicine.
The MARP program includes the following four services:
-
MARP assessment
This service includes patient history, medical examination, and psychosocial screening. -
MARP subsequent visits
This service may include review of test results or procedures following an initial assessment or re-assessment, and return-to-work updates. -
MARP re-assessment
This service applies to workers who have been discharged from the program, but have not fully recovered and require another full assessment. -
Injections
This service includes bursa, tendon sheath, periarticular, or joint injections. These can be administered by a MARP physician as part of any MARP services, if clinically indicated.
Becoming a provider
Our long-term MARP Assessment program contracts come up for bidding every few years. To become a provider, you need to apply when the bidding process begins.
We post notifications on Bid Opportunities when contracts are up for bidding. All the information you need, including how to submit your bid, will be available in the posted documents.
Through Bid Opportunities, you can also sign up for automatic notifications whenever one of these bids is posted.
Submitting reports and invoices
All the information you need to complete our required paperwork is available in the contract documents you sign with us.
MARP Assessment providers have access to our Provider Portal. This secure online portal lets you efficiently receive referrals, submit reports and invoices, and check the status of your payment.
