M.A.S.H.

M.A.S.H. stands for Maximum Acuity Service for Healthcare, and is a program designed to streamline access for your injured employees making sure they receive appropriate healthcare. This service will enable your company to reduce claims costs for non-emergency injuries, saving you money and ensuring the health and safety of your workforce.

M.A.S.H. is free of charge to all Acuity workers’ compensation accounts*

The nurseline is open 24 hours a day, and is meant to be used by your employees to get medical advice on non-emergency issues such as sprains, strains, cuts, minor burns, and debris in the eye. For injured workers with fractures, head trauma, or deep wounds, emergency care should be sought.

 

What makes us different?

The line is staffed by multilingual registered nurses, ensuring ease of communication for your employees.  The nurses are licensed to practice in all 50 states, and the program is offered in most of the states we operate in. They will follow up with employees to check on their conditions within 24 hours of initial contact. M.A.S.H.’s goal is to prevent minor incidients from becoming major claims.  We believe it to be a more efficient Workers’ Compensation Choice for your workplace.

    • We often receive questions about how to improve workplace safety. Questions range from “Should I require PPE?” to “What type of machine guards do I need?” The answer to each of these, as well as the question of how to have an effective safety program, is made up of three key components: assessment, control, and evaluation.
    • With so many safety methods and products available to the trucking industry, it can be difficult to know where to start. A motor carrier's safety efforts should start simply and grow as the company’s needs evolve.
    • We all have our busy seasons and for most contractors summer is the busy time. Unfortunately, cutting corners or accidentally overlooking important safety protocol can happen when schedules are tight and the demand to complete one project and move to the next increases. But don’t let that happen to you or your employees.

    Have questions? We have answers.

    By addressing a case when it first occurs, a quick and accurate care plan can be made.  This often prevents an unnecessary emergency room visit, keeping your medical costs down and your Experience Mod in check.

    What if my employee calls and the nurse determines that his or her injury is serious and they need to see a doctor?
