Definition
Occupational medicine focuses on the health of workers, including the ability to perform work; the physical, chemical, biological, and social environments of the workplace; and the health outcomes of environmental exposures. Practitioners in this field address the promotion of health in the work place, and the prevention and management of occupational and environmental injury, illness, and disability.
Patientary is an informational reference tool built on public data (CMS NPPES and the official ICD-10-CM release). It is not medical, coding, legal or billing advice, and code assignment is the responsibility of a qualified professional. Always verify against the primary source before you bill or file.
