Protecting Those Who Build

OccuMED1 is a trusted provider of occupational health services that leverages decades of expertise to serve businesses and clients. Committed to enhancing workplace health, safety, and well-being, the company’s profound medical and construction/ infrastructure knowledge underscores its dedication to these goals. Founded by Robert White, a distinguished retired Army flight surgeon with 23 years of service, including four conflict deployments, OccuMED1 thrives under his leadership. White’s expertise primarily rests in emergency medicine and trauma, with a transition into occupational medicine nearly a decade ago. Specializing in delivering comprehensive occupational services, OccuMED1 primarily caters to infrastructure and construction companies, applying its specialized medical knowledge to benefit these industries.

“Our goal is to establish a people-centric company that assists companies in effectively navigating the intricacies of corporate wellness and the medical system,” says Robert White, CEO at OccuMED1. At OccuMED1, the highly experienced team of experts covers a range of specialized medical fields, making the company a trusted authority in occupational health. Its deep understanding of the medical and construction industries allows the company to offer precise and reliable workplace health services, addressing a wide spectrum of medical situations, from routine to complex. This dedication, combined with its genuine appreciation for the individuals who contribute to our world’s construction, makes OccuMED1 an indispensable asset for any company seeking to protect its business and employees.

At the center of the company’s service offering is its ability to help clients proficiently manage injuries, offering a nationwide 24/7 call center staffed by medical doctors and physician assistants.

Setting itself apart from competitors, it delivers thorough assessments by licensed medical providers capable of making differential diagnoses, in contrast to systems relying on nurses’ more limited yes-orno questions. Leveraging technology such as FaceTime, images, and videos, it performs a comprehensive triage of injuries before recommending appropriate measures, whether over-the-counter recommendations, first aid, a clinic visit, or an emergency room visit. This approach is critical in preventing recordable incidents reported to OSHA, positively influencing a company’s experience modification rating, and enhancing its safety reputation.

Aside from injury management, it emphasizes educating employees and companies, striving to impart knowledge and awareness regarding occupational health and safety.

Beyond workrelated concerns, the company also extends its expertise to provide medical consultations for non-work-related medical issues, offering guidance and informed recommendations without delivering direct care. One standout feature of OccuMED1 is its approach involving customized consultations with each company to address its unique needs. With this approach, the company tailors specialized programs, particularly assisting its diverse range of clientele from multiple industries like heavy civil, power, pipeline, construction, carpentry, vegetation, and many more.

“OccuMED1 is a valuable resource that our team couldn’t do without. They help our companies avoid unnecessary recordable injuries, ensuring employees return to work quicker and healthier,” says JW Culbreth, Safety Director. It offers a range of solutions, including the Post Offer Medical Screening Questionnaire to assess potential employees’ suitability for specific roles, aiding informed hiring decisions and reducing workplace injury risks. Additionally, a Post Offer Medical Screening Examination ensures candidates meet job requirements and minimize injury risks. Its Medical Directorship integrates services seamlessly within client companies. Additional services include Fit for Work Tele-Triage and Case Management.

At the forefront of its services is the 24/7 nationwide tele-triage, highly sought after by clients facing EMR and OSHA reportability challenges. Clients turn to them for tailored protocols and policies to reduce the experience modification rating and enhance networking opportunities. By effectively managing injuries, it facilitates a decrease in the client’s modification rating, enabling them to compete more successfully for various projects. Understanding the financial burden of a high Experience Modification Rate (EMR), especially due to mishandled medical cases, the company offers tailored solutions to mitigate adverse impacts on businesses and their employees.

As OccuMED1 continues to expand, the growing emphasis on best practice requirements set by the workforce and OSHA has created increased demand for companies to incorporate medical services and medical directorship programs into their operations. Having a medical director and medical team on staff is fast becoming a standard business practice. Thankfully, the company’s services are designed to offer a cost-effective alternative to hiring a full-time, in-house medical director or team, ensuring compliance with these requirements without incurring full-time employee costs.

OccuMED1 recognizes the profound impact that misguided decisions can have on a business, often resulting in unnecessary expenses and a elevated EMR rates. They have designed services with precisely these challenges in mind, aiming to provide solutions that curtail negative outcomes and expand overall wellness for your business and your employees.
