Workers' compensation referrals rarely break down at a single point. The strain accumulates as specialty groups coordinate communication across employers, adjusters, physicians, nurse case managers, attorneys, and internal staff, and that coordination burden falls hardest on the injured worker waiting for timely access to care.
