YESTERDAY…
Injured UCSD campus employees were required to call the Workers’ Compensation office to report any work-related injury or illness, so the WC office could initiate the Report of Injury form.
Injured employees were also responsible
for informing their supervisor of the
injury/illness.
TODAY…
Employees will NO LONGER call the Workers’
Compensation Office to report their injuries.
(They are still welcome to call with questions)
EMPLOYEES ARE TO:
Immediately inform their supervisor of the injury, and
Complete the Incident Report form and FAX the form
to the Workers’ Compensation Office within 24 hours.
Immediate Notification
If completion of the form by the supervisor or medical provider will delay the form being faxed to the Workers’ Compensation Office within 24 hours – THEN
Initially fax the front page of the form (Employee Section) (Required information is a bold)
And then fax the completed form ASAP!!!
Patience Please…
While the Workers’ Compensation office is:
Educating the campus community of the changes (form and new reporting procedures)…
We will be in a state of flux and transition for a few
months
In a Perfect World
1. Employee is to obtain Incident Report form
hard copy from department downloaded from http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/workerscomp
and then complete the Employee Section of the form.
(If Employee is unable to initiate processing of Incident Reporting form, supervisor is to start the process and forward the form within 24 hours to the Workers’ Compensation Office.)
Perfect World- continued…
2. Supervisor completes the Supervisor Section
If no medical treatment is required at this time, the form is to be Immediately faxed to the Workers’ Compensation Office
858.534.5202
PW still continued…
If medical treatment IS required:
Employee should bring the form to the medical facility AND ask the physician to complete the MEDICAL SECTION
• Employee must then fax the completed form to the WC office IMMEDIATELY.
But what if….
get form?? get treatment??
What if the injured employee needs to seek medical treatment, but is unable to obtain “the form” prior to seeking medical?
What Should the Employee Do?
Go to Thornton Emergency Room and obtain medical treatment –
Thornton ER will have the forms available
Obtaining necessary medical treatment is the
1st PRIORITY!!
Then what?
If employee is able to return to work
after receiving medical treatment…
All parties should complete the form and then
fax it IMMEDIATELY to the WC office
858.534.5202
What if…
Employee is NOT able to return to work
after receiving medical treatment:
Employee must immediately notify the supervisor or departmental contact person to complete the form to the best of their ability, and
The supervisor or department must Immediately fax the form to the
WC office
858.534.5202
Rapid Reporting of Incidents…
Is absolutely key to assuring:
Good medical recovery (so authorization for further testing or treatment won’t be delayed)
Reducing lost days Overall costs Litigation
