Rehabilitation experts join forces to reduce claims costs

Rehabilitation service providers, IPRS and Moving Minds, are joining forces to provide programmes that could improve treatments for the victims of accidents and ill health, and reduce insurers’ costs.

IPRS specialises in musculoskeletal injury management and Moving Minds in psychological rehabilitation.

The partners suggest that all too often in the past, psychological needs have gone unrecognised, delaying recovery for the patient and adding to claims costs.

However, their new approach addresses the interaction between mental and physical health issues and the firms promise “a comprehensive and seamless 360 degree assessment and treatment service for patients, ensuring an individual’s needs are met in the best possible way through evidence-based interventions”.

IPRS group chief executive, David Bingham, comments: “Working closely with Moving Minds, we are now able to offer clients advice from a unified source.”

He adds: “Further assistance in managing insurance cases can also be given to claims handlers and employers, thus easing their workload, and referrers will be made aware much earlier in the rehabilitation process of how successful the ongoing treatment is likely to be.”
