Resolution
In the event that an employee is injured or potentially injured, the employee should complete the First Report of Injury as soon as possible. This report should be completed regardless of medical attention being required or not.
Call: 888.585.5075 to do a First Report of Injury
Calling Provides Access to:
- 24/7 access to a licensed nurse
- Access to a pharmacy benefits card
- Coordinated medical care at an appropriate level of care
- Timely reporting to your employer and the workers' compensation insurance company
You will want to call and report an incident as soon as possible. This is available 24/7, 365 days a year. It is recommended you call prior to seeking medical treatment unless the situation is an emergency. Due to the nature of the questions that will be asked when reporting an injury, it is recommended the employee calls themselves. If they are unable to report it for any reason, a supervisor or human resources can report the incident on behalf of an employee.
