FAQ
Catastrophic Case Management questions
What qualifies as a catastrophic injury claim?
Catastrophic claims typically involve severe, life-altering injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures or polytrauma, and injuries requiring prolonged hospitalization or long-term care. These claims usually involve many providers and a long recovery timeline.
When should a catastrophic case manager be assigned?
As early as possible — ideally while the injured person is still in acute care. Early involvement supports smoother discharge planning, faster access to rehabilitation, and better-informed decisions throughout the life of the claim.
