Is Life Care Planning For You?
Have you thought about stepping away from the bedside and becoming your own boss in a specialty practice business? Changes in the medical and healthcare industries create opportunities for registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, occupational therapists, vocational rehabilitation specialists, physicians, physician assistants and case managers to elevate their careers. Consider the specialty practice of medical damages. This specialty practice affords enhancement of your career, a change of scenery while still practicing your clinical skills, autonomy in your decision-making, earning more income, and enjoying quality time with loved ones.
FIG assesses individuals with a life-changing injury or illness to determine their future medical needs with associated costs and ensure the patient/client has the necessary funds to be cared for throughout their life. We blend our medical knowledge with the legal community – this is the specialty practice of medical damages. FIG specializes in Nurse Life Care Planning (NLCP), Life Care Planning (LCP), Medical Cost Projection (MCP), and Medicare Set-Aside (MSA). In these specialty practices, there are five common questions we strive to answer –
- 1. What do they have? - medical diagnosis
- 2. What do they need? - future medical care
- 3. Why do they need it? - manage symptoms, prevent complications, quality of life, & safe, independent function
- 4. How often do they need it? - frequency & duration
- 5. How much will it cost? - cost in today’s dollars
FIG Education teaches you how to answer these questions through our Classes, Certification, Coaching, and Continuing Education.
