Who is Agile and Akeso?
Agile Occupational Medicine is an organization comprised of 21 clinics throughout California (as well as Yuma, Arizona). The Agile approach focuses on speed and quality – eliminating unnecessary time in the clinic, accelerating access to specialists, and driving faster recovery. Every aspect of patient care, employer support, and integration with claims teams can be improved upon by focusing on the efficiency of execution and communications. Agile engages patients with proactive scheduling and follow-up, engages claims teams with better information and insights, and engages employers with information and education that reduces lost time and keeps their employees on course for a return to work. Flexible workflows for employers and payors reduce communication gaps and simplify referral and authorization processes.
Akeso Occupational Health is an organization comprised of 21 clinics throughout California. Akeso is a complete workplace health resource, focusing on the evaluation and treatment of health issues which arise from work or environmental exposures, enabling injured employees to return to work as soon as possible. These clinics improve injured workers’ outcomes through a focus on the patient and a commitment to better partnerships with the payor. The experts at Akeso Medical believe the key to fixing the workers’ compensation system centers around a dedicated group of physicians committed to the right care without financial incentives for over-treating injured workers. These highly skilled physicians are backed by a clinical organization that works more closely with the insurance carrier and employer to make sure that the right care is delivered in a timelier manner.
The Agile & Akeso partnership offers 43 clinics throughout California & Arizona to help you maintain a healthy workforce
