Canvassing for Treatment Providers in California Workers' Compensation Cases

What do you do when there’s no clear next provider on file?

Maybe your client just moved and needs a new QME in their area. Maybe the last authorized specialist declined the referral. Or maybe the medical documentation is incomplete, and you’re left scrambling to locate a provider before a deadline.

In California workers’ compensation cases, missing or outdated treatment info can delay progress, frustrate clients, and cost your firm valuable time.

That’s why we offer canvassing, a research-based support service designed to help law firms locate, verify, and document qualified treatment facilities based on medical need and geography.

From San Bernardino to San Francisco, our team helps attorneys and staff identify real options, not dead ends.

What Is Canvassing?

Canvassing is the process of researching and verifying potential treatment providers based on the injured worker’s location, condition, and insurance requirements. Here’s how our process works:

1. You send us the relevant info, including the injury type, zip code, medical need, and any network restrictions (like MPNs or accepted providers).
2. We research local facilities that fit the criteria, including pain management clinics, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and more.
3. We verify availability and confirm key details like accepted insurance, specialties, location, and whether they’re currently scheduling workers’ comp patients.
4. We send you a clear list of options with contact info and notes, often within 24–48 hours.

It’s fast, accurate, and built for attorneys and staff who can’t afford to spend time hunting down information.

Real Scenarios We Can Handle

If a firm in Anaheim needed to locate a bilingual QME within 10 miles of a client’s home, we could deliver three qualified, verified options within 36 hours.

Maybe a paralegal in Concord couldn’t find a provider who accepted the client’s MPN. We would verify network participants and flag who was actively scheduling.

An attorney in Sacramento might be stuck due to outdated referrals and needs a new spine specialist. In that case, we would cross-reference past providers and map new options by specialty and proximity.

Why California Firms Count on EWORD for Canvassing

We understand what "available" really means. Just being listed doesn’t mean they’ll see a workers’ comp patient. We confirm.

• We’re fast. Turnaround is usually 1–2 business days, so your case doesn’t stall.
• We reduce staff burnout. Your team shouldn’t spend hours calling clinics only to hit voicemail. We handle that legwork.
• We help cases move forward. The sooner you locate the right provider, the sooner you can get treatment authorized and documented.

And just like with all of our other services, you get a real team, not an automated directory.

When to Use This Service

Canvassing is especially helpful when:

• A client has relocated and needs a local provider
• A treating physician retires or closes their practice
• Your team receives incomplete or outdated medical records
• There’s an urgent need to identify a specialist before a hearing
• You’re working with a client in a rural or provider-limited area

From Redding to Riverside, we help workers’ comp firms identify solutions, not just search results.

Modular and On-Demand

You can use canvassing as a standalone service or alongside Records Retrieval, Medical Records Review, or our E-Office Workflow. We make it easy to scale up when your caseload spikes, and scale down when it doesn’t.
