A common source of catastrophic injuries is workplace accidents, particularly in construction and industrial environments. Workers’ compensation claimants account for a large portion of our patient population at NeuLife. As a post-acute catastrophic rehabilitation provider, our clinical and non-clinical staff fully understands the workers’ compensation claims process and regularly works with attorneys, claims adjusters, case managers, nurses and other providers involved in the claim. In addition, NeuLife has relationships with several workers’ compensation payors and participates in the majority of workers’ compensation provider networks, thereby enabling claimants to easily access post-acute catastrophic rehabilitation at NeuLife for treatment of their work injury.

Catastrophically injured individuals without medical insurance who are involved in a car, truck or motorcycle accident or fall, for example, are also able to access treatment at NeuLife through alternative funding mechanisms while the case is still pending litigation, despite their inability to pay. NeuLife is one of the few healthcare facilities in the U.S. that admits and treats patients without quality health insurance by deferring collection of its fees until the personal injury case is finalized.

In life-changing personal injury cases, multi-disciplinary post-acute catastrophic rehabilitation at NeuLife is a win-win. Scientifically validated research studies have proven that post-acute catastrophic rehabilitation significantly improves functional, behavioral and cognitive outcomes, independence and quality of life. Based on our most recent data, NeuLife patients achieve an average functional improvement of 80% from admission to discharge. As an added benefit, NeuLife offers 24/7 access to patient information and provides detailed supporting medical documentation during a patient’s admission and immediately upon discharge which helps promote faster resolution of the case.

We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of each patient upon admission to establish individualized rehabilitation goals. NeuLife understands that every patient is unique and no two injuries are the same – a treatment plan that works for one patient might not be effective for another. Our interdisciplinary team uses the information from the comprehensive evaluation to then develop an effective care plan and establish a baseline to compare future progress towards each rehabilitation goal.
