HealtheSystems' Rx Informer Magazine reports on Long COVID.

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the world in such an unprecedented manner that the ripple effects continue to be felt – including the prevalence of Long COVID, the chronic condition that can linger for weeks, months, or even years after COVID-19 infection.

In workers’ comp, data has shown that while Long COVID appears in few claims, it significantly impacts medical care and drives up costs. This is likely because Long COVID frequently stems from more intense cases of acute COVID-19 infection, and these claims last longer and require ongoing care as chronic symptoms resurface.
