State Legislation

CorVel has provided workers’ compensation management services to Indiana employers for more than 30 years. Our approach is that all injured workers need quality healthcare and compassionate guidance from someone who is familiar with their case. CorVel provides personalized attention, along with the expertise needed to help speed return to work, while ensuring patients understand and follow treatment plans and get their questions answered quickly. All so that recovery can continue and life can get back on track.

Our comprehensive return to work program ensures collaboration and communication with all interested parties including the injured worker, employer, human resources, medical and safety teams, and healthcare providers.  We use technology, compassionate case management for employees and cost containment measures, to give Indiana employers a superior program.

 

As a service to our clients, CorVel is providing links to information related to the COVID-19 pandemic provided by the states.

Indiana has released Coronavirus Info in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
