Worker's
Compensation Panel of Providers
The
college has established a panel of health care providers to
use if you have an on-the-job injury. Of course, if your condition
requires emergency treatment, please go to the nearest emergency
facility, and then schedule any follow-up treatment with a
designated provider from the panel.
A provider
from this panel should be used for the first 90 days after
your initial visit with a panel provider. After 90 days, you
can continue to see any provider within the panel or choose
another medical provider.
This
new panel of providers assures anyone injured on the job same-day
treatment and increased communication, meaning your bills
will be paid faster. Additionally, providers will be familiar
with our campus and specific job duties. The designated panel
of providers and information on submitting claims is available
by selecting
this link.
Remember: If you are
injured on the job, you should report the incident to your
immediate supervisor or HR Services within 24 hours of the
incident by either using an
incident report form or calling x1503. All injuries, no
matter how slight, need to ultimately be reported to HR Services
in order to inform the Worker's Compensation carrier of a
possible claim. Failure to notify us can result in the delay
or denial of your claim. If you are seeking treatment at US
HealthWorks, an authorization
form must be completed and signed. If you have questions
about job-related injuries, contact HR Services at ext. 1503
or 'hrservices'.
