2018 Android Workers Comp Apps – Another Trip Into The Rabbit Hole
My 2018 Android Workers Comp Apps search was performed using a laptop, not a smartphone. The rabbit hole reference, of course, is from Alice in Wonderland(c).
The laptop use made what could be a very difficult smartphone task much easier. The search I used can be found here. Many apps from claimant attorneys appeared in my various searches.
The rules used were the app had to:
- Be free
- Not be a veiled advertisement
- Have at least 10 votes on the ratings – this prevents the app providers from rating themselves highly. – this is a new requirement
- Have at least 3 stars or higher rating – this is a new requirement
- Have some useful function – (that it actually worked)
- Be closely related to Workers Comp
- Appear in the Google Playstore – some websites provide apps that are not in the Playstore. A great marketing idea would be to put them in the Playstore as blatant advertising. Some recommended apps no longer appear in the Playstore.
The Playstore moniker kind of dilutes a business-type app search.
The apps that fit the rules were:
- WC Policy Verification from NCCI – a former app recommendation winner
- NovaMC (Nova Medical Centers) – greatly improved over the last few years
Some of the apps that were reviewed before this year were:
- MyMatrixx Mobile
- EMC Smart Mod
- MyCare Corvel
- Coventry Connect
I did not include the prior 4 apps as they did not have enough ratings.
A few new apps that looked interesting were:
- Road Cash – A way for injured employees to tally and request travel reimbursement- reduce headaches for adjusters?
- Zenjuries – updates everyone involved in WC claims process – goal is to no isolate injured employee – has templates to help inured employee understand the care of their injured body part
Let me have the envelope please, and the winner is…..(hint – it is in orange)
I will cover the winner next week.
The surprise is the lack of good apps – the year is 2018, can we have some apps please? This goes to my lack of technology concerns in the Workers Comp arena for the past 10 years.
