Resolve Worker Compensation Claims with Objective Evidence
The Physical Capacity Profile® Testing (PCP) System can be used to protect and defend clients with non-biased, baseline data that can make settling claims much easier and fairer. Here are just a few of the benefits:
- (PCP) tests meet ADA, EEOC, HIPAA, DOL, and AMA guidelines.
- Receive documentable, objective computerized data with no hand-written, subjective opinions on pass/fail.
- Baseline data assists medical teams in rehabilitation and reduces post-injury settlements.
- Credit/discounts available for workers’ compensation premiums.
- Reduces claims cost and time.
- PCP tests provide information that protects employers against false or inaccurate claims.
- Many claims do not end up in court due to utilizing the PCP test.
What Legal Professionals Say About PCP
What Legal Professionals Say About PCP
Rebecca Tatlow, Workers Compensation Attorney
“As a Workers Compensation defense attorney, I frequently receive new assignments and wish I had a “before picture” to compare to the “after picture” once an employee has achieved maximum medical improvement.”

Prevent Employee Claims with PCP Testing Now
Physical Capacity Profile® (PCP) testing is just one of many services insurers can provide to assist their clients. The PCP helps clients determine if an applicant can meet the physical demands of the job. It also prevents employers from purchasing injury claims that didn’t occur at their place of work; decreases their turnover and associated retraining costs; and reduces overtime that could be paid to other employees who might be working extra to cover a coworkers shift.
The PCP test rapidly delivers a three-page report to employers, allowing management to quickly place newly-hired employees. Electronically captured data with third-party analysis and reporting is important.
