How will PCP testing benefit me?
PCP testing benefits both the employer and the employee. Testing the physical abilities of one’s body will lead to fewer injuries and overall cost savings in the long run – which is good for both parties! Companies areable to thrivewhen all employees areproven tobephysicallycapableofperforming the necessary types of work. In fact, PCP testing results in a 10-30% decrease in workers’ compensation premiums to employers, as well as a 30% decrease in workers’ compensation injury rates overall. PCP testing allows employers to answer three key questions: 1. Does your new hire have the strength and fitness required to do their job? 2. Doesyournewemployeehaveapre-existing injury? 3. Is your employee ready to return to their job after recovering from an injury?
The natural next question for a test of this nature is, “Howmuch will it cost?” PCP testing is actually fairly reasonablecompared tocompeting diagnostic tests. It is also a cost-effective test that will save employers and employees more money in the long run – for example, with every dollar that is invested in testing, 6-8 dollars are saved in direct medical costs due to an unexpected injury. What now? There are several supporters of PCP testing, and for good reason. According to Attorney Jerry Harmison Jr., “As a Workers’ Compensation defense attorney, I frequently receive new assignments and I wish I had a ‘before picture’ tocompare to the ‘afterpicture’onceanemployee has achieved maximummedical improvement.” PCP testing works in creating that “before” picture.
