Management Referral - SLA

We understand fully that the timeline and quality of reporting, along with general service provision is a key issue within Occupational Health.  Health Assured provides national coverage, and works to clear and transparent Service Levels:

• Referrals are accepted via our online portal, email, fax or post.
• The Referring Manager provides relevant information such as sickness absence information and job description relating to the referred employee.
• On receipt of the request the individual's details will be recorded for monitoring  and processing purposes.
• If linked to a cliam under the EAP Plus policy, confirmation that the claim is eligible will be made within 1 working day and an appointment will be made directly with the employee to see an OH physician, within 5 working days of the receipt of referral.
• A letter with the appointment details will be sent to the employee on the sameday of the appointment being verbally confirmed..
• The referring manager will be notified of the appointment via email (or telephone where an email address is not available)
• The consultation will be booked to provide up to one hour clinical consultation .
• The report to manager will be clear, concise and will address questions asked in the referral, including findings, recommendations and prognosis.
• Advice will be provided on the recommendations and reasonable adjustments including the type of duties that could be undertaken if fitness to work is in question.
• Where possible a likely date on which the employee could return to work will be stated.
• The report will be returned to the referring manager within 2 working days of the appointment.
• Where a referring manager wishes to speak to the occupational physician, every effort will be made to ensure that this service is provided on the same day as the appointment.
