Spinal Cord Injury & Complex Injury Case Management

Coordinating the medical, rehabilitation, and everyday needs that follow a life-changing injury.

 Catastrophic Injury Management

Complex Injuries Require More Than Medical Care

A spinal cord injury or other life-changing injury affects nearly every part of daily life. 

Beyond surgery and rehabilitation, individuals and families face decisions about equipment, home accessibility, attendant care, transportation, and long-term planning, often while working with a large team of specialists and therapists.

Feinberg Consulting provides case management for individuals recovering from spinal cord injuries and other catastrophic and medically complex injuries, including those sustained in serious motor vehicle accidents and workplace incidents. 

Our Certified Case Managers coordinate every part of care so recovery keeps moving forward and families don’t carry the details alone.

Coordinating and attending medical appointments
Coordinating care among surgeons, physiatrists, specialists, and therapists
Medication coordination and follow-up
Coordinating durable medical equipment, including mobility and adaptive equipment
Coordinating attendant care
Coordinating home and vehicle modifications
Arranging transportation to treatment
Discharge and transition planning between care settings
Identifying and resolving barriers to recovery
Connecting individuals and families with community resources
Monitoring progress and follow-through on treatment recommendations
Detailed documentation and progress reporting

From Acute Care to Rehabilitation to Home

Recovery after a complex injury moves through several care settings. Each transition is a point where details can get lost, and your case manager stays involved at every stage.

Step 1
Hospital and Acute Care
We assess needs early and coordinate with the hospital team on discharge planning.
Step 2
Inpatient Rehabilitation
We collaborate with the rehabilitation team on goals, equipment needs, and readiness for the next step.
Step 3
Outpatient Therapies
We coordinate appointments, therapies, equipment, and transportation.
Step 4
Home and Community
We coordinate attendant care, home and vehicle modifications, and the return to daily routines.
Injury Management Plan

Supporting Independence and Planning for Changing Needs

Life after a spinal cord injury or other complex injury continues to change. Equipment needs to be replaced or adapted, home and vehicle needs evolve, and new medical concerns can arise years after the initial injury. 

Our case managers reassess needs over time and adjust the plan so the individual can live as independently and safely as possible.

Where appropriate, our team also supports the transition toward work or other meaningful activity.

Working With Families and Professional Teams

A life-changing injury affects the whole family system. We keep family members informed and involved, guide them through what to expect, and clarify decisions as they arise.

We also collaborate closely with attorneys, claims professionals, and treating providers through proactive communication and clear documentation, while our advocacy stays focused on the client’s clinical needs and recovery goals. Many of the cases we support involve Michigan auto no-fault or workers’ compensation claims.
