Disability and worker's compensation case managers have long recognized the value of early intervention. Human nature to delay seeking medical care, compounded by the shortfalls of Canadian healthcare means that typical "reactive" early intervention often occurs relatively late from a medical point of view, once problems have deteriorated to be more complex, expensive and difficult to resolve.

Equipping employees, with a Medical Assistance Plan, encourages workers to consult MedExtra voluntarily and confidentially, at the very onset of any potential medical issue or worker's; compensation - disability claims. This affords simple, rapid resolution of the medical problem with reduced impact on presenteeism, absenteeism and the group plan.
