The Physicians Cooperative of Texas “PCT” is a Physician Sponsored Network of Providers focused on the improvement of clinical outcomes to Texas injured workers.

 

 

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Our approach to injured-worker treatment offers high quality medical services that are easily accessible and convenient.  Providers participating in the PCT program have an interest and expertise in the treatment of injured workers and the medical management performed by PCT.  They are partners with PCT and our customers in reducing unnecessary costs associated with treating work injuries.  PCT Providers use the PCT treatment protocols based on the ODG treatment guidelines that promote aggressive management and support an early return-to-work strategy that allows the worker to remain in a productive environment while recovering.  PCT is committed to developing the best proven tools to meet our goals and the needs of our customers and providers.
