Caregiver assisting an injured worker recovering at home in Colorado

Workers' Compensation Home Care in Colorado

Colorado CareAssist is a credentialed Pinnacol SelectNet attendant care provider. When a workplace injury keeps someone home, we step in with the non-medical support that makes recovery possible — and we bill Pinnacol directly.

New in 2026

A Credentialed Pinnacol SelectNet Provider

As of May 2026, Colorado CareAssist is credentialed in the Pinnacol Assurance SelectNet network for attendant home care. SelectNet is the curated network of providers Pinnacol case managers steer injured workers toward when in-network care is available. For families, that means a smoother claim, faster authorization, and no scramble to find someone who knows the workers' comp side of the paperwork.

What we provide is non-medical attendant care. We do not replace a doctor, physical therapist, occupational therapist, or skilled nurse. We provide the daily personal-care support that makes recovery at home possible — bathing, mobility, meals, transportation to medical appointments, and supervision — while the medical providers manage the injury itself.

Who this is for. If you or a loved one has an open Colorado workers' compensation claim with Pinnacol Assurance and the treatment plan includes authorization for attendant care, we can begin care quickly and bill Pinnacol directly. Referrals come from Pinnacol case managers, employers, adjusters, treating physicians, and families — all are welcome.

Why SelectNet Matters

Better Outcomes, Lower Costs

Pinnacol's own analysis of SelectNet providers versus out-of-network providers shows faster claim resolution and lower average claim costs. The data is published on Pinnacol's site — not our marketing claim.

Claims Resolve About 3 Weeks Faster

Pinnacol publishes data showing that workers seen by SelectNet-credentialed providers return to work meaningfully sooner than those seen out of network.

About $2,672 Lower Average Claim Cost

On the same Pinnacol analysis, the average claim cost for SelectNet providers is roughly $2,672 lower than out-of-network claims — savings that flow back to employers and the workers' comp system.

Direct Billing — No Worker Out of Pocket

We bill Pinnacol directly under our credentialed NPI. For authorized attendant care hours, the injured worker and their family never see an invoice.

Coordination, Not Just Coverage

Our office stays in regular contact with the case manager and adjuster, shares visit notes on request, and flags changes in condition early — so the claim moves forward instead of stalling.

What Attendant Care Looks Like

Non-Medical Support That Bridges the Recovery

After a serious workplace injury, the medical pieces — surgery, imaging, physical therapy, follow-up visits — are scheduled appointments. The hours in between are where things fall apart: getting out of bed safely, getting to the bathroom, eating a real meal, getting to the next PT appointment on time. That is where attendant care fits.

Care plans are built around what Pinnacol has authorized and what the worker actually needs. A few hours a day, several days a week, overnight coverage during the early weeks of recovery — we scale to the claim.

Services Included Under Authorized Attendant Care

  • Bathing, dressing, and grooming assistance
  • Mobility, transfer, and gait support
  • Toileting and incontinence care
  • Meal preparation and feeding assistance
  • Light housekeeping and laundry
  • Medication reminders
  • Transportation to physical therapy, doctor, and follow-up appointments
  • Companionship and supervision during recovery

The Referral Process

From Referral to Care in 48 Hours

Recovery does not wait. Once we have the authorization and the worker's information, we move quickly.

Case Manager or Adjuster Calls

A Pinnacol case manager, nurse case manager, employer, or adjuster contacts us with the claim number, authorization, and the injured worker's contact information. We accept referrals by phone, fax, or email.

Free In-Home Assessment Within 24 Hours

A care coordinator meets with the injured worker (and family, when appropriate) to confirm the authorized scope of attendant care, review the home environment, and answer questions. There is no cost for the assessment.

Care Begins Within 48 Hours

We match a trained caregiver to the worker, review the schedule with everyone involved, and start care. We bill Pinnacol directly — the injured worker pays nothing out of pocket for authorized hours.

Ongoing Coordination Until Return to Work

Caregivers document each visit. Our office shares status updates with the case manager and adjuster on the cadence they request. When the worker is ready to step down or end care, we coordinate the transition.

Ready to refer a worker? Call our office at (303) 757-1777 (Denver / Front Range) or (719) 428-3999 (Colorado Springs / Pueblo). For Pinnacol case managers and adjusters, our intake team can take the claim number, scope of authorization, and worker contact information over the phone — or you can send a secure message.

Jason was great. He answered all my questions and provided great service when picking me up from the hospital after surgery. I will use his services again.
