In the first episode of MEC Connect Impact Stories, Tina D’Andrea, Sr. Nurse Case Manager at MEC, shares two powerful real‑world cases that demonstrate how the right people, results-driven processes, and trusted vendor partnerships can drive meaningful outcomes for injured workers — while delivering measurable cost savings for insureds.

Tina walks listeners through a complex lightning‑strike injury involving long‑term Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy, where creative problem‑solving and collaboration with a vetted pharmacy management partner improved continuity of care, enhanced the injured worker’s quality of life, and generated significant annual savings. She also recounts a severe COVID‑19 catastrophic claim that progressed from ECMO and transplant consideration to a full‑duty return to work, made possible through coordinated clinical oversight, strategic rehabilitation placement, and effective bill negotiation.

These Impact Stories highlight MEC’s commitment to putting people first, leveraging proven processes, and partnering with best‑in‑class technology and vendors to achieve results that matter — better recovery outcomes for injured workers and responsible cost management for employers.
