1 RISK MANAGEMENT MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Cherry Creek School District Employees Karyn Fast, Risk Manager Georgia Steele, Risk Management Specialist DATE: August 3, 2015 SUBJECT: Workers Compensation (1) Administration (2) Procedures Workers Compensation claims are administered by the Risk Management Department in the Fiscal Services Division located in the Auxiliary Services Center. All work related injury information including first reports of injury, designated physicians work status reports, notification of lost time due to a work related injury, return to work releases, any questions, should be directed to Georgia Steele at or Karyn Fast at , Fax The Colorado Workers Compensation Statute is very specific on the timelines for reporting of work related injuries by the employee, as well as by the employer. Fines and penalties can be assessed for late reporting against both the employee and/or the employer. The law requires the injured employee to report the work-related injury in writing within 4 working days of the accident (see attached Employer s First Report of Injury). We must have the completed first report of injury in our third party administrator s office within 8 days of the injury and they must file it with the State Division of Workers Compensation within 20 days of the injury to admit liability or deny the claim. We have attached procedures to establish the required process for seeking medical treatment, reporting claims, statutory timelines and forms to be used for work related injuries. We have also included a Workers Compensation Program Employee Information document to assist you in the completion of the First Report of Injury forms. This document should give you a general overview of how the Workers Compensation system operates. If you have questions, or if we can further assist you, please feel free to give one of us a call. /gs Attachments cc: Guy G. Bellville, Chief Financial Officer
2 Cherry Creek School District Worker s Compensation Program Employee Information Introduction The Colorado Workers Compensation Act (Title 8) establishes that employers, such as Cherry Creek School District, must provide medical care and a scheduled amount of Wage Loss Benefit to employees who sustain an injury or illness arising out of their employment. This obligation can be met either by purchasing insurance or by self-insuring the risk. The District has elected to self-insure this obligation through the Joint School Districts Workers Compensation Self Insurance Pool. The following are instructions for making a claim under the District s Workers Compensation Program and a brief outline of benefits provided. This information is not meant to be a detailed explanation of the Workers Compensation Statute. If more specific information is desired please contact the Colorado Division Of Workers Compensation or the Office of Risk Management. Medical Care Medical expenses, including hospital charges, bills from designated physicians, prescriptions, etc. for work related injuries and illness are covered under the District s Workers Compensation Program. Except in cases of extreme emergency, such as life or limb threatening, medical treatment is to be obtained only from one of the medical facilities designated by the District. You may select from the three corporation medical providers listed below where you want to receive treatment for your work related injury. Follow-up care, after receiving emergency medical treatment, must be provided by a designated physician the next day. The District has designated Arbor Occupational Medicine Center, Rocky Mountain Medical Group and Health One Occupational Medicine and Rehabilitation at the following locations, as the facilities for treatment of work related injuries/illnesses. An Authorization for Medical Treatment form is included that will need to be signed by the building nurse or your supervisor, you will bring the form with you to present at the facility you have chosen from the list below.

Either you or your representative must contact the District s Risk Management Office (Telephone Number: ) by the following work day so that a designated physician can be assigned to your case. If any employee wishes to receive medical care for a work related injury/disease from his/her personal physician or a provider other than those that have been authorized by our insurance company, it will be at the employees own expense. Prescription Drug Program The District has established a Preferred Provider Program for the purchase of prescription drugs with National Pharmaceuticals Services (NPS). An initial temporary card will be provided to you at your initial doctor s visit. Authorization cards will be mailed directly to you after your claim has been filed. Simply take the authorization card, along with your prescription, to the nearest participating pharmacy. NPS will bill our Workers Compensation third party administrator directly. Wage Loss Benefits If you lose more than three days of work because of a work related injury or disease, you are entitled to compensation equal to two thirds (66-2/3%) of your average weekly wage subject to a maximum figure, which is established and adjusted each year by statute. The District will allow you to use up to 3 days of your accumulated sick leave days for absence due to a work-related injury, but only if the work comp doctor takes you off duty and/or restrictions do not allow for return to work. Thereafter, you will receive the Statutory Workers Compensation Benefits.
4 In the event you are physically unable to return to the type of work you were doing with the District or in the event you sustain some permanent physical impairment, permanent disability benefits as established by the Colorado Workers Compensation Act may be payable. Mileage Reimbursement Benefits Workers Compensation will reimburse you at the statutory rate for trips to and from the doctor and/or physical therapy. Mileage reimbursement request forms are available in each school nurse s office or in the main office of each building. Reimbursement will be made by our Workers Compensation third party administrator, after the required forms have been completed and furnished to their office. Your Responsibilities As an employee of the District you have certain responsibilities in your Workers Compensation claim. Your responsibilities are as follows: 1. Any work related injury or disease must be reported to your supervisor or building administrator within 48 hours of the occurrence or onset of the disease. This includes those accidents that do not require medical treatment. 2. Written notice of an injury resulting from an accident must be given by you to the Risk Management Office within 4 working days after the accident. Failure by you to give this written report may result in penalties being imposed against you. 3. If requested by your supervisor, you will assist in the completion of the form entitled Employer s First Report of Injury. This form may be completed by your supervisor and/or their designee. The completed form must be sent to the District s Risk Management Office within 4 calendar days of the injury or onset of the disease. 4. If medical treatment is required, you should first be examined by the nearest District nurse. If further medical treatment is necessary, obtain an Authorization for Medical Treatment from the school nurse or supervisor. In accordance with Colorado Revised Statute (5) (a), you can select from the list of three corporate medical providers designated by the District (Arbor Occupational Medicine, 8200 E. Belleview, Suite 428C, Greenwood Village, CO or Rocky Mountain Medical Group, E. Mississippi Ave., Suite 120, Aurora, CO or Health One Occupational Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1444 S Potomac St., #200 Aurora, CO and E Arapahoe Rd, #160, Centennial, CO 80112) for treatment of your work related injury. Emergency life and limb threatening treatment should be obtained at the nearest medical facility and follow-up care will be provided at one of the above selected designated providers the following day. 5. The physician will provide you with a copy of the treatment form, which will contain the physician s diagnosis, a release to return to work, any work restrictions, follow-up appointment dates, or time off work requirements. You must return a copy of the doctor s report to your supervisor after each doctor s visit. Subsequent follow up appointments or therapy visits should
5 be recorded as sick/general leave absence. It is your duty and responsibility to keep your supervisor advised on your medical updates and return to work status. 6. Your claim will be adjusted by a person retained by the District s insurance pool. It will be necessary for you to cooperate fully with the adjuster, supply any information required including a signed release and attend any medical or vocational evaluations that are arranged for you. 7. All bills you receive should be forwarded to the Risk Management Office. We will forward the bills to our adjuster for review. If the claim is accepted, bills will be paid based on the Colorado Workers Compensation Fee Schedule. If the claim is denied by the adjuster, you will be required to assume responsibility for the bills yourself or to obtain coverage from your health insurance carrier. 8. If you miss more than 3 days due to a work related injury, you must complete and file with your supervisor a Leave Request Form. On the fourth day of absence, your supervisor will forward a copy of this form to the Benefits Office. Claim Denials or Notice of Contest Because an employer is required to file an admission or denial of liability with the Colorado Division of Workers Compensation within a limited amount of time where more than 3 days of lost time occurs, you may receive a copy of a form from the adjuster entitled Notice of Contest. This form in most cases means that the adjuster has been unable to review the claim within the time limitations to be able to accept the claim as compensable. In most cases, you will receive an additional form admitting coverage or a letter denying the claim. If the claim is denied, you can either obtain the benefits available to you through the benefits program for medical expenses and lost time or you can request a hearing at the Division of Workers Compensation. Should a question arise concerning a claim you have filed, you can direct your questions to the Office of Risk Management or to the adjuster with the District s self-insurance pool handling your claim.
