Important Information Medical Treatment for Your Workplace Injury If you need to seek medical treatment for your work injury, you must report to the Ghering Health Center for medical evaluation and treatment. If it is determined that more extensive treatment is needed beyond the services provided by the Ghering medical staff, you must be treated by a panel provider. If you are referred to a panel physician, you must treat with the panel provider for the first 90 days of treatment. If you are referred to an off-panel provider by a panel physician, you need to contact the Human Resources Office prior to seeing the non-panel physician. Payment for services provided by a non-panel provider during the first 90-day period will be the student employees responsibility unless a referral is received from a panel provider. Claim Number A claim number cannot be assigned until an Injury Report is received in the Human Resources Office. The student employee must contact the Human Resources Office to receive their claim number. When receiving treatment for an injury, the student employee will need to give their claim number to the provider. All medical claims/forms received from the medical provider must be returned to the Human Resources Office. The Human Resources staff will then forward all related materials to Inservco, PASSHE s third party administrator for workers compensation claims.
