Workers’ Compensation and Disability Management

For more than twenty years, MCA principals have participated in the evolution of managed workers’ compensation programs. Relying on proven principles such as early intervention, case management, the use of occupational health provider networks, and return to work initiatives, including modified and alternative duty assignments, we bring our clients practical solutions for effectively managing employee injuries. We work closely with our clients to identify current and future needs and to design, implement, and monitor appropriate practical solutions.

In addition to traditional workers’ compensation, MCA has successfully developed, implemented, and administered managed on-duty injury programs under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) and the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). We also provide consulting services related to disability management programs that incorporate both work and non-work related injuries and illnesses.

Employee Benefits

Our experienced consultants bring market, health plan, public policy, human resources, property/casualty and clinical expertise to our employer clients. This depth of knowledge is highly effective in assisting our clients with the design, implementation and evaluation of a spectrum of health-related employee benefit options. From vendor solicitation and selection to the comprehensive assessment of plan and vendor performance, MCA adds value to employee-sponsored health benefit programs.

One cornerstone of our employee benefits practice is a strong focus on improving plan performance. For those clients who have an existing health benefit program in place, we recommend a periodic operational assessment to evaluate total program performance. This assessment measures the effectiveness of policies, procedures and workflows, vendor performance, and compliance with stated performance benchmarks. For this highly specialized service we rely on a dedicated team and on proprietary evaluation tools customized to client contracts, programs, and infrastructure.
