Your Managed Care Workers' Compensation Program is called NHMTA / Intracorp.  It is a program designed to assist your employees who sustain a work-related injury / illness.  It is a partnership between the injured worker, their employer, and NHMTA.

• Work with employers on job modification, as well as prompt and safe return to work.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1.    Can my injured worker be treated with their own PCP(Primary Care Provider)?

Treatment with PCP's are discouraged for work-related injuries / illness.

2.    Are there limitations on the number or types of providers my injured workers' can treat with?

In general, there is one primary treating provider in workerí compensation treatment; however, an injured worker could be treated by multiple providers of different specialties at the same time.  This is why NHMTA encourages the involvement of case management services for the purpose of overseeing, coordinating, and directing medical treatment to achieve optimal outcomes with recovery and return to work plans.

3.    Do you recommend a specific type of provider for initial medical treatment?

If non-emergent care is required, an occupational health specialist is the provider of choice.  Also, direct specialty care is allowed (ie.: if your injured worker sustains an eye injury, then seeking treatment from an ophthalmologist / eye specialist is acceptable).
