- The examining physician determines you may be able to return to work after completion of a rehabilitation program
- The physician must find that you may be able to perform the essential duties of the position you retired from or a similar position after rehabilitation
- The physician will submit a rehabilitation plan to PERAC’s Rehabilitation Unit that includes:
- the goals of the program,
- the medical services necessary to achieve the goals,
- the costs and
- the anticipated timeframes.
- A PERAC Nurse Case Manager will review the rehabilitation plan
Any modifications will be discussed with the physician.
After retiring from accidental or ordinary disability you may be required to undergo rehabilitation. In order to start the rehabilitation process, you must first complete a Comprehensive Medical Examination (CME).
