» Impairment Rating Review (IRR)
.................................................................................
Because the Rating is NOT always correct.
When a worker is injured, a doctor may assign an impairment rating, which determines whether the worker is eligible to receive benefits. However, it has been found that
often these impairment ratings are incorrect.
HOW DOES THE CASCADE IRR WORK?
Cascade can review these impairment ratings and identify discrepancies quickly and efficiently, saving you money and possible further exposure on your claims. If an IRR is incorrect, Cascade will advise the appropriate parties to request that the physician re-evaluate their rating based on the AMA Edition Guidelines for that jurisdiction. Cascade’s efforts have resulted in total cost savings of over $400,000 on recent customer files.

- Reduce indemnity benefits

- Reduce time and expense of IME or designated doctor dispute
