and requiring
extensive
medical
treatment and
intervention.

Encore
Unlimited's
Catastrophic
(CAT) Referral
Process:
-
Call
800-434-2520 to make a request for service
during normal business hours of Monday through
Friday 7:30am to 5:00pm CST.
-
Call 715-498-2951 for after hours
requests (after normal business hours, holidays,
and weekends).
-
Ask for the
Referral Coordinator
-
Provide as much information as you have
regarding the case. Most importantly
how the
nurse should reach YOU (the adjuster) via phone.
We realize information is often sketchy during a
time of crisis.
-
Our Referral Coordinator will dispatch the
closest CAT nurse. That nurse will begin
immediate case management activities, and will
call the adjuster en-route to discuss the case.
A formal initial evaluation with recommendations
is emailed to the adjuster within 48 hours.
