“Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to successfully help long-term injured workers return to function and work. We believe it should and can be made available to a far broader patient population through the integration of the payer’s case finding predictive technologies with IMCS assessment and treatment methodologies,” Daugherty said. “I am excited to be working with an organization that provides these proven, cutting-edge solutions.”
