Ametros Honors and Supports Injured Workers with Member Momentum Campaign

Campaign highlights injured workers who demonstrate unstoppable strength post-settlement

WILMINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ametros, the industry leader in professional administration and post-settlement medical care coordination, launched Member Momentum, a year-long campaign focused on honoring and supporting the stories of injured workers post-settlement.

More than 15 years ago, while most of the workers’ compensation industry focused on the value and efficiency of pre‑settlement products and services, Ametros stepped in to fill a critical gap: managing injured workers’ medical funds after settlement. Each year, Ametros supports more than 35,000 injured workers (their members) in this capacity. Many of these injured workers have suffered a complex or catastrophic injury – they will not be returning to work and often struggle to find normalcy in life after injury.

“Too often, once a workplace injury claim is settled, an injured worker is on their own to navigate ongoing medical needs while simultaneously managing settlement funds,” said Ametros President Andrea Mills. “For many injured workers, adjusting to their new normal is emotionally exhausting, draining, and even crushing at times.”

She continued, “That’s why we launched the Member Momentum campaign. The word momentum means ‘an unstoppable strength gained through progress.’ This is an opportunity to highlight injured workers who, despite having suffered devastating workplace injuries, exemplify momentum in their lives long after settlement.”

Each quarter, Ametros will launch a Member Momentum video story, highlighting a member who embodies a positive energy that propels their life forward.

The campaign kicks off with Derek Demun’s story. At just 21, Derek’s life changed in an instant after a workplace injury resulted in paraplegia. An avid athlete, outdoor enthusiast, and adventure seeker pre-injury, he shares his post-settlement journey of despair, letting go, and eventually, hope, resilience, and peace.

Ametros and their partners play a small role in Derek’s long-term success by working together to simplify his healthcare, streamline his medical payments, and ultimately, reduce his stress and anxiety.

“We are honored to be a part of our members’ lives at a time when they need our support the most,” said Mills. “By being empathic and putting ourselves in their shoes, we help our members thrive post-settlement, and that is incredibly fulfilling.”

She continued, “When we thought about the joy these stories bring to our lives, we realized they needed to be told beyond the walls of Ametros. These powerful stories are an inspiration to other injured workers in the same position and to anyone involved in the workers’ compensation industry.”
