Occupational Medicine Services / Worker's Compensation

If you are like most business management or business owners, you have a concern of the rising cost of healthcare. The increases in the cost of quality healthcare sterns from inappropriate use of emergency room as well as primary and urgent care services. Compared to the services at Perimeter Clinic, a visit for a workplace injury if your employee visit the local Hospital's Emergency Room can cost you and your company $500 or more each visit!
If you are self-insured, that money comes right out of your company's bottom line. If you are fully insured, inappropriate use of the emergency room results in higher medical plan premiums through higher medical costs. Perimeter Clinic Buckhead offers an alternative to the emergency room visit that will save your company both time and money and give you the piece of mind that your healthcare dollars are being managed in an appropriate manner.
Perimeter Clinic provides additional reasons why our care makes better sense than others. When your employee arrive at our facility, we FAST-TRACK them immediately to an Occupational Health Exam Room (complete with X-Ray and Laboratory Equipment) where our medical staff can perform the needed tests. This alone can save money by reducing lost work time.
At Perimeter Clinic Buckhead the typical patient is seen within 20 minutees and the total visit lasts less than one hour. For more information, please contact Sasha Kron at 678-904-5611.
