Occupational illness and injury

An injury or illness is considered work-related if a workplace event or exposure either caused or worsened the condition.

Our team works empathetically to support injured employees, focusing on swift, proactive care to help them get back to work.

Independent medical examinations (IME)

Banner offers efficient medical exams with access to health care providers across all specialties to streamline treatment and recovery.

Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE)

A Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) is a scientific process that measures a worker's physical abilities following a job-related injury. The FCE helps employers, medical providers, insurers, attorneys and vocational consultants understand safe functional levels for return to work or to establish ongoing functional capacity.

Referral management

Referral coordinators ensure timely and appropriate medical care by navigating the health care system, removing barriers to medical care and facilitating proactive care coordination for a safe and efficient recovery.

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)

Banner Occupational Health provides immediate care for workers exposed to potentially hazardous body fluids. A medical provider is available 24/7 to discuss the exposure and determine if preventive drug therapy, such as post-exposure prophylaxis, is necessary.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that PEP begin within two hours of exposure to minimize HIV risk.  Through partnerships with Banner Family Pharmacy and Walgreens 24-hour pharmacies, we ensure prescriptions are ready promptly at the nearest pharmacy location.

Follow-up care includes counseling, testing and immunizations, providing peace of mind and comprehensive support for your employee.
