[QUOTE="Pip, post: 136133, member: 6039"] Unless I'm mistaken, vocworks is usually hired/subcontracted by the workers comp. or an insurance co.( depending on the situation) to oversee that your getting or rather workers comp is getting what there paying for. Vocworks is the eyes and ears for workers comp. Without a go-between workers comp is getting the information they are being told over the phone and over the fax. In one way they are there to make sure of cost effective matters and to also look out for the patient, that they are getting the proper care. Another use of these company's is to help cut down on fradulant(sp) claims. Vocworks is not all bad, they do good too. Hopefully the proper care is given. BUT, this is always open for interpretation. basicly you have an RN possibly second guessing a specialist. which could open a can of worms. I dealt with this when I broke my neck back in 93'. 80% of what the work they did was all good. No problems on my end until the RN tried to start second guessing 2 different neurosurgeons (who were not working together) about my treatment. This started getting a little hairy to say the least. the RN started to get the notion that she had the final say on my surgeries. I ended up getting a lawyer involved to quit the delays. it did go to court and the RN's company ended up paying all the legal fees associated. This was in most cases an isolated case, but can happen. Don't be afraid of these people, but in the same breathe, don't put all your trust in their judgement, just the same. [/QUOTE]
