PWhat are the typical steps in the process of medical accommodation, and how does Arc Health support these?
The process typically involves understanding the requested accommodation, assisting the employee to bring forward relevant medical information to confirm accommodation needs, and then providing the employer with assistance in crafting accommodation or confirming that no accommodation is needed. We help employers meet their duty to accommodate in a way that supports the organization while meeting the employee’s needs; the preferred accommodation is rarely the only option.
