Claims reporting through Company Nurse mandatory beginning July 1
|
|
Many IMWCA members began reporting claims through Company Nurse in January, but as of July 1 Company Nurse will be the only way to report claims. To ensure everyone is ready to meet this standard, entities that have not yet completed the template required to report through Company Nurse will receive a letter accompanied by a paper copy of the template.
The information on this form greatly facilitates the process when your employees call Company Nurse to report an injury. The nurse can immediately access your entity’s information and complete the First Report of Injury or Illness (First Report) while talking to the injured employee. Within minutes of completing the call, the nurse forwards the report to IMWCA and all contacts you have designated. If the injured employee has been referred for treatment, the nurse also immediately faxes a copy of the report to the appropriate physician/clinic.
The feedback IMWCA has received about Company Nurse has been overwhelmingly positive. See for yourself here. |
