International Solutions Workers Comp Home Health Care in SW Fort Worth/Burleson, TX

If you or a family member was injured on the job and International Solutions is managing your workers' compensation claim, home health care is very likely a covered benefit — and getting that care started is more straightforward than most families expect. BrightStar Care of Burleson works directly with workers' comp adjusters and third-party administrators to coordinate skilled nursing and personal care services at home, so you can focus on recovery rather than paperwork. Workers' comp home health coverage typically includes skilled nursing visits, wound care, medication management, and personal care assistance — all delivered in the comfort of your home in the SW Fort Worth and Burleson area.

Understanding Your International Solutions Workers' Comp Coverage

International Solutions is a third-party administrator (TPA) that manages workers' compensation claims on behalf of employers and insurance carriers. As a TPA, International Solutions handles claim authorization, coordinates medical benefits, and approves home health services for injured workers. If your employer's workers' comp program is administered through International Solutions, your home health care referral will go through their authorization process before services begin.

Workers' compensation insurance under Texas law is designed to cover all medically necessary treatment following a workplace injury. What is workers' compensation, exactly? It is a state-regulated insurance program that pays for medical care and lost wages when an employee is injured or becomes ill as a direct result of their job. In Texas, workers' comp insurance coverage for home health typically includes skilled nursing, wound care, physical and occupational therapy, and assistance with activities of daily living during the recovery period.

Once a physician certifies that home health care is medically necessary — often following a discharge from Huguley Medical Center, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest, or another area facility — your International Solutions adjuster will authorize the services and duration. Our team contacts the adjuster directly to confirm authorization and begin care without delay.

Workers' Comp Home Health Services Under International Solutions Coverage

BrightStar Care of Burleson provides the full continuum of home health services that workers' comp claims commonly cover. Our care is led by a Registered Nurse Director of Nursing who develops each care plan and supervises all services delivered by CNAs, HHAs, and LVNs. This clinical chain of accountability is what workers' comp adjusters look for when authorizing home care — and it is one reason International Solutions cases are routinely approved for our services.

Skilled Nursing Services

• Wound care and wound VAC management — especially relevant for crush injuries, lacerations, and surgical wounds following workplace accidents
• Post-surgical nursing care following orthopedic procedures at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Hillcrest or AdventHealth Burleson
• IV therapy and specialty infusions at home
• Medication management and administration
• In-home lab draws and blood work
• Ostomy care and feeding tube management
• Vital signs monitoring and clinical documentation for adjuster reporting

Personal Care and Support Services

• Bathing, grooming, and personal hygiene assistance
• Mobility and transfer assistance during orthopedic recovery
• Meal preparation and nutrition support
• Light housekeeping to maintain a safe recovery environment
• Transportation to follow-up appointments
• Companion care and fall prevention

24-Hour and Continuous Care

When workplace injuries are severe — including spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or multi-system trauma — 24-hour care at home is sometimes the appropriate level of support. BrightStar Care of Burleson provides continuous live-in and around-the-clock care when authorized by the International Solutions adjuster and supported by a physician order.

How International Solutions Workers' Comp Home Health Authorization Works

The authorization process for workers' comp home health care follows a specific sequence. Understanding it helps injured workers and their families avoid delays.

1. Physician order: Your treating physician — often a specialist at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest or a workers' comp-designated provider — writes an order for home health services specifying the type of care, frequency, and duration.
2. Referral to BrightStar Care: Either your physician's office, the hospital discharge planner, or the International Solutions adjuster contacts our team directly.
3. Authorization confirmation: We contact International Solutions to verify authorization, confirm the claim number, and clarify the scope of approved services before beginning care.
4. RN assessment: A Registered Nurse visits the patient's home — whether in Hidden Creek, Summer Creek, Joshua Farms, or another neighborhood in our service area — to complete a clinical assessment and develop the individualized care plan.
5. Care begins: Caregiving staff arrive on the authorized schedule. Clinical notes and progress documentation are maintained for adjuster reporting throughout the claim period.

Our team handles the communication with International Solutions directly. Families in Briar Meadow, Rendon, and throughout the SW Fort Worth corridor do not need to manage the adjuster relationship on their own — that coordination is part of what we do.

Workplace Injuries Treated Under International Solutions Workers' Comp Coverage

Workers' compensation home health care applies across a wide range of workplace injuries. Common cases our team manages include:

• Orthopedic injuries — fractures, joint replacements, and ligament repairs following industrial, construction, or transportation accidents
• Traumatic wounds and lacerations requiring skilled wound care or wound VAC therapy
• Back and spinal injuries requiring assisted mobility and fall prevention at home
• Burns and chemical exposures requiring ongoing wound management
• Post-surgical recovery following procedures at Lake Granbury Medical Center or AdventHealth Burleson
• Occupational illnesses including respiratory conditions requiring medication management
• Traumatic brain injuries requiring cognitive support and activities-of-daily-living assistance

In every case, our RN Director of Nursing reviews the physician's orders and the injury context before finalizing the care plan. This clinical oversight is required under our Joint Commission Accreditation standards and is what distinguishes medically supervised home care from basic companion services.

Hospital Coordination for International Solutions Workers' Comp Patients in SW Fort Worth and Burleson

Many workers' comp patients come to us directly from an inpatient stay. When a patient is discharged from Huguley Medical Center following orthopedic surgery, or from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest after trauma care, the transition home requires careful coordination. Our team works with hospital discharge planners to receive clinical documentation, confirm authorization with International Solutions, and have a caregiver in place by the time the patient arrives home.

This discharge-to-home coordination is particularly important for patients in the Summer Creek and Hidden Creek communities, where distance from the hospital can make unplanned gaps in care more consequential. Our goal is that no patient spends a night at home without a confirmed care plan in place.

What Sets BrightStar Care of Burleson Apart for International Solutions Workers' Comp Cases

When workers' comp adjusters at International Solutions authorize home health care, they are looking for an agency with the clinical depth to handle complex cases and the administrative infrastructure to document care reliably. Here is what we bring to every workers' comp case:

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is exempt from workers' compensation in Texas?

Texas is unique among U.S. states in that workers' compensation insurance is not mandatory for most private employers. Employers who choose not to carry workers' comp coverage are called "non-subscribers." Certain categories of workers — including some agricultural workers, domestic workers in private homes, and sole proprietors — may also fall outside standard coverage. Government employees, however, are generally covered under separate state programs. If you are unsure whether your employer carries workers' comp coverage, contact the Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers' Compensation or speak with your HR department directly.

What is the phone number for workers comp in Texas?

The Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) can be reached at 1-800-252-7031. This is the main contact line for questions about your rights, claim status, and the workers' comp system in Texas. If your claim is managed by International Solutions as a third-party administrator, you will also have a direct adjuster contact for your specific claim — that number is typically provided on your claim paperwork.

What is the maximum IIBs rate in Texas?

Impairment Income Benefits (IIBs) in Texas are calculated based on your impairment rating and your average weekly wage. The Texas Department of Insurance periodically updates the maximum weekly benefit rates. As of recent guidance, IIBs are paid at 70% of your average weekly wage, subject to a state maximum. Because these figures are updated periodically and depend on your individual injury date and wage history, contact the Texas DWC at 1-800-252-7031 or consult a workers' comp attorney for the current maximum applicable to your specific claim.

How does Texas deal with the issue of worker injury protection and compensation?

Texas addresses workplace injury through a system that allows — but does not require — private employers to carry workers' compensation insurance. Employers who do carry coverage provide injured workers with medical benefits and income replacement without the employee needing to prove fault. The Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers' Compensation oversees the system, sets benefit standards, and resolves disputes. Workers' comp home health care is a covered medical benefit when a treating physician certifies it is medically necessary, allowing injured workers to recover at home rather than in a facility.

Does International Solutions workers' comp cover home health care?

Yes, in most cases. International Solutions, as a third-party administrator, manages medical benefits including home health care when a physician certifies the need. Coverage typically includes skilled nursing, wound care, personal care assistance, and therapy services. The specific services and duration authorized depend on your injury, your physician's orders, and the terms of your employer's workers' comp program. Our team contacts International Solutions directly to confirm authorization before any care begins.

How do I get home health care started under my International Solutions workers' comp claim?

Ask your treating physician to write a home health order and send a referral to BrightStar Care of Burleson, or call us directly at (817) 887-9919. We will contact your International Solutions adjuster to confirm authorization, collect clinical documentation, and schedule an RN assessment at your home. In most cases, care can begin within one to two business days of authorization confirmation.

What if I need care on weekends or in the evenings after a workplace injury?

BrightStar Care of Burleson is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends. Workplace injuries and post-surgical recovery needs do not follow a Monday-through-Friday schedule, and neither do we. Our on-call clinical staff can respond to urgent care needs and coordinate with the International Solutions adjuster on authorization for extended or after-hours care when medically necessary.

What home care solutions are available for workers recovering from severe injuries?

For workers with severe injuries — including spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or complex wound care needs — we offer a full range of home care solutions including 24-hour live-in care, skilled nursing, IV therapy, wound VAC management, and occupational therapy coordination. Our RN Director of Nursing develops a care plan matched to the specific injury and physician orders, with ongoing clinical documentation provided to the International Solutions team throughout the claim period.
