Filing an incident report or a worker’s compensation claim can be stressful. Prineville Insurance is here to simplify the process and help you control those costs.
What to do when a workplace injury occurs:
- Incident Report (minor injuries): Use this for incidents requiring only first aid and when the worker doesn’t intend to file a claim.
- Workers’ Compensation Claim (Form 801): File this immediately if the worker seeks medical treatment, requests a claim, or has an injury that could lead to a claim.
How to streamline claim management:
- Communicate clearly: Stay informed with the insurance company, your employee, and medical providers.
- Utilize Oregon-specific programs: Tap into the Oregon Prescription Drug Program, Employer-at-Injury Program (EAIP), and Preferred Worker Program (PWP).
- Focus on return-to-work: Partner with Prineville Insurance to develop modified work programs to get your employees back on the job safely and quickly.
The Benefits of Proactive Claim Management:
- Cost Reduction: Effective strategies can lower workers’ comp insurance costs.
- Faster Recovery: Return-to-work programs often promote quicker worker recovery.
- Employee Morale: Demonstrate your commitment to employee well-being.
