Throughout the years, Northwood has worked with many insurers and claimants. Through these partnerships, Northwood has observed an increased need to expand services to include prescription and over-the-counter medications, home health care, infusion therapy, home modification, transportation and translation services. Furthermore, shifting patient care from the hospital to the claimants’ home has been a concept growing in popularity and implementation over the previous three decades. This shift in claimant care methods brings with it a need to safely and effectively modify the home while claimants convalesce. Transportation services are also necessary to assist with claimant indemnification if claimants are unable to drive themselves to the necessary follow-up medical appointments. Additionally, when claimants are at home they may need temporary assistance with their daily living activities which requires home visits from nursing, physical and occupational therapy and assistant staff.
