Make This Approach the Backbone of Your Business and Experience Real Results
Nobody gets up in the morning and says, “I think I’ll get hurt at work today.” Workplace injuries happen, and in an instant, someone’s day, future plans, profession, or even their entire life changes.
To understand what this would feel like, try to put yourself in the shoes of an injured worker. Picture yourself as the one who just suffered a catastrophic workplace injury. Without a doubt, you have just experienced the worst day of your life. It’s hard to imagine just how overwhelming that would be.
It’s probably a blessing we can’t see what life will throw our way each day — some days are wonderful, others are tough. As workers’ compensation professionals, we navigate some of the hardest and most complex moments an injured worker faces, but it is also such a powerful opportunity to make a difference. Amid the physical pain, frustration, regret, anxiety, and uncertainty an injured worker endures is our chance to provide positivity, hope, and a genuine understanding that they don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
No matter who we are, on our toughest days we all look for someone who truly understands us – someone who can relate to what we’re experiencing. As humans, we crave empathy. Can you imagine a world where every product and service, in every industry, was built with empathy at its core?
The Story of CareGuard
Injured workers can spend years in the workers’ compensation system before they settle their case.
After a workers’ compensation case settles, injured workers often lose the support system they relied on during their claim, leaving them feeling lost and vulnerable. Managing their post-settlement healthcare can quickly become overwhelming without support and resources, such as ongoing care coordination; guidance navigating Medicare rules; and proper handling of medical bills.
That’s where Ametros steps in. With empathy at the core, we deploy CareGuard, our premier, fully transparent, professional administration platform. CareGuard enables our team to properly support our members post-settlement by managing their future medical funds; paying provider, medical equipment and pharmacy bills at discounted rates; and ensuring full Medicare compliance when an MSA is involved.
And there are real results for all involved.
- Instead of dealing with medical bills, Medicare rules, paperwork, and ultimately, stress, injured workers can focus on rebuilding their health and their life. Through CareGuard, they can choose their own providers, all while protecting their benefits and feeling confident their settlement funds will last.
I encourage you to hear from injured workers themselves, just as we get to, to see how patience, compassion, and listening with intention truly changes lives.
- Adjusters experience faster case closures, fewer post-settlement issues, and clean file resolution.
- Attorneys see reduced compliance risk and smoother post-settlement transitions.
And if those results weren’t enough, let’s talk numbers*:
- Ametros members save a total of $87 million annually, an average of $6,719 per member
- These figures translate to an overall average of 53.9% savings per member
- 96.4% of Ametros’ members carried over funds into 2025, thus preserving their settlement dollars
At Ametros, we continue to see our members succeed because compassion and empathy are the foundation of our business – defining our culture, shaping our services (CareGuard), and fueling our desire for innovation. Whatever your role, product or service, lead with empathy, and I guarantee the results will follow.
