REMEMBER
-- IT'S IMPORTANT TO TELL YOUR EMPLOYER ABOUT YOUR INJURY
It is imperative that you obtain the Workers'
Compensation Work-Related
Incident Report form from the Secretary in your Building
or Department, complete the form immediately and return it to the Secretary.
Be sure to advise the Secretary if the incident resulted from an encounter
with a student.
In life-threatening situations, immediately seek medical
assistance, then complete
the Workers' Compensation Work-Related Incident Report.
 | If you suffer a work-related injury,
your employer or its insurance company must pay for reasonable surgical and medical services and supplies, orthopedic appliances and prostheses, including training in their use. |
| ATTENTION:
Custodial/Maintenance employees, Bus Drivers, and Mechanics
-- In order to ensure that your medical treatment will be paid for by your employer or the insurance company, you must select from the physicians or other health care providers designated on the Panel Physician List posted in your work areas. -- You must obtain treatment from one of the providers listed, if you need treatment, for 90 days from the date of your first visit. -- All reasonable medical supplies and/or treatment related to the injury will be paid by the employer provided treatment is obtained from a designated provider during the 90 day period. -- Changing health care providers during the 90 day period is acceptable providing you stay within the selected panel of providers. When a designated panel provider refers outside the panel, the employer will pay for treatment rendered this referral provider. Emergency treatment may be obtained form ANY provider. However, subsequent, non-emergency treatment will be provided by a designated panel provider for the remainder of the 90 day period. -- Obtaining treatment or medical consultation from a non-designated provider shall be at the employee's expense for the applicable 90 days. After the 90 day period, treatment may be obtained from any health care provider of choice. If treatment is found reasonable and necessary, the employer will pay for incurred expenses that are in direct association to the original work related incident. -- You are required to notify your employer of treatment by a non-designated provider within five (5) days of the first visit to that provider. The employer may not be required to pay incurred expenses to the non-designated provider prior to receiving such notification. The employer will pay for services once notified, unless treatment is found to be unreasonable by a URO, under Subchapter C. |
|
All other employees (Administrators, Confidentials,
Paraprofessionals, Professionals) may obtain treatment from any health care provider of choice. (It may be to the employee's benefit to choose a provider from their health insurance network in case a work related claim is denied.) |
| NOTE: If you are being
treated by a physician and given a prescription to be filled, DO NOT use your Health Assurance card at the pharmacy to pay the regular copay. Since the prescription is for a work-related injury, charges should not go to Health Assurance. Pay for the prescription in cash or charge it on a credit card and turn in the receipt and description of the drug purchased to Human Resources to be reimbursed. You can also ask your pharmacist if the purchase of the drug can be handled by them and the cost sent to School Claims Service. |
