Physical therapy isn’t just about treating injuries — it’s about rebuilding lives.

It restores movement, confidence, and purpose. For injured workers, it can be the difference between a stalled claim and a successful return to work.

Here’s what happens when PT is prioritized:
• Faster recovery
• Better functional outcomes
• Lower risk of chronic pain
• Happier, more engaged patients

For adjusters, that means fewer delays, fewer escalations, and better long-term results for both the claim and the person behind it.

Let’s turn breakdowns into breakthroughs, and recovery into results.

Oversight doesn’t have to mean overload…

CMS is proposing annual accreditation for suppliers. But HOMELINK isn’t just watching. We’re advocating for the network and we’re preparing.

We’re ready to help both payers and providers navigate what’s next.

Let’s lead with movement, not medication…

Musculoskeletal pain, like a bad back, sore shoulder, or aching knee, can derail someone’s life. But the first step toward healing makes all the difference.

When physical therapy is the first step, everything changes:
• 89% less likely to get an opioid prescription
• 30% less likely to need advanced imaging
• 15% less likely to visit the ER

Even for those who do take opioids, early PT reduces the risk of long-term use by 10%.

This isn’t just better care. It’s a chance to help people reclaim their lives, return to work, and move forward with strength and dignity.

Fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) cost the U.S. healthcare system billions every year. But the real damage goes deeper — it erodes trust.

From employer-sponsored health plans to Medicare Advantage, FWA drives up premiums and chips away at the confidence people have in their coverage.

At HOMELINK, we believe integrity isn’t just a value. It’s a commitment.

It’s how we hold ourselves accountable.
It’s how we protect our clients.
And it’s how we rebuild trust in a system that desperately needs it.

Integrity wins.

Chronic disability doesn’t start with an injury. It starts with waiting…

When physical therapy is delayed, recover slows. Pain lingers and confidence fades. And what could have been a short recovery turns into a long-term fight.

Early PT can change the claim trajectory. Movement builds strength. And strength builds capability.

That’s the force multiplier: early PT compounds recovery.

Every desk tells a story…

In workers’ compensation, it’s not just about who left — it’s about what led them there.

Most retention efforts focus on things that come after the strain — bonuses, recognition, better training. But burnout starts long before that.

It starts with the systems, workflows, and partnerships that surround adjusters. They need more than service-level promises. They need real coordination. Personal attention. From people who take it personally — 24/7, right here in the U.S.

What’s driving up MSK costs? Fragmented care and unnecessary surgeries…

The numbers don’t lie: Claims for rotator cuff tears and shoulder impingement can get expensive — especially when surgery is involved. New research shows these claims are 4X more likely to become high-cost when surgery happens.¹

But there’s a better way. When patients get early, coordinated physical therapy and stick with the same care team, we can help prevent runaway costs and support better recoveries.

Multi-tiered plans deliver flexibility. But when benefits are complicated, patients can get lost.

When someone needs a CPAP machine, they’re not just dealing with sleep apnea. They’re navigating a maze of network tiers, authorization rules, and coverage details that change depending on the provider and location.

This complexity can delay care and increase costs. And with over 22 million Americans affected by sleep apnea, timely access to CPAP therapy isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity to avoid serious health risks and long-term expenses.

The PT Multiplier: Early intervention can be like trading pennies for gold

In , the smallest decisions often shape the biggest outcomes. Take physical therapy. Approve it early, and it can change the entire trajectory of a claim:

Faster recovery and RTW, lower indemnity exposure, fewer costly MRIs and surgeries, cleaner claims

That’s the multiplier effect. Where have you seen PT make the biggest difference in a claim?

If your ancillary partner isn’t helping you raise your HEDIS score, they might be holding you back.

HEDIS stars aren’t handed out. They’re earned.

And that means ancillary care can’t be an afterthought — it has to be a strategic driver.

At HOMELINK, we know that timely, coordinated delivery of DME, Home Health, and other services does more than reduce costs:

It closes care gaps
It reduces readmissions
It leads to better outcomes

If you're a health plan looking to move the needle on quality, it's time to rethink what your ancillary partner should be doing for you.
