At Sizen Vocational Services, our Case Managers are highly-trained and experienced in vocational rehabilitation case management in the Minneapolis & St. Paul, MN area. By combining comprehensive medical and vocational services, we can provide our clients with a dedicated and thorough return to work plan.

A certified workers compensation case manager will:

• Meet with injured employees to obtain background information pertaining to their case.
• Assess medical case files and determine appropriate case direction – i.e. medical specialty, 2nd opinions, functional assessments, etc.
• Plan and coordinate return to work actions with employees, medical providers and employers.

In appropriate cases, Sizen Vocational Services can evaluate the physical demands of existing and potential positions to determine whether an individual can effectively and safely handle those duties. Employers and disability insurers can count on Sizen Vocational Services to provide a thorough assessment so that parties fully understand the functional and cognitive demands of each position assessed.

Sizen Vocational Services can also assess an employee’s workstation ergonomics to ensure that the workstation design is appropriate based on their medical restrictions. The goal is to minimize risk of injury and maximize productivity.

If a qualified employee is contemplating a career change due to their work related injury and restrictions, vocational testing and interpretation may be necessary to identify appropriate vocational work options for further exploration. Sizen Vocational Services utilizes ability/aptitude, achievement and interest testing in this process. Sizen Vocational Services will then work with the qualified employee to provide additional guidance through researching physical demands, wages and labor market conditions of the jobs that are identified through this process.
