Managing spinal cord injury claims

According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, there are close to 18,000 new spinal cord injuries reported each year. These injuries can have a huge effect on the long-term functionality of the injured person and may require special attention as you manage these claims.

In this course, Dr. Robert Hall and Lauren Reese will review the anatomy, physiology and causes of cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal cord injuries (SCIs). They will discuss medical treatments from time of injury through discharge and identify the long-term durable medical equipment (DME) needs. They will also help you understand the potential long-term medical complications associated with an SCI and the medical treatments required in the home setting.
