RM-10 Rev. 7 Workers' Compensation Claims AdministrationCITY OF DELRAY BEACH ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES DEPARTMENT: SUBJECT: Risk Management Workers'Compensation Claims Administration POLICY NUMBER:RM-10 SUPERSEDES:RM-10,Rev.6 REVISION: APPROVED BY: PURPOSE CTIVE DATE:/1 2z Terrence R.Moore,ICMA-CM The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures for filing the First Report of Injury or Illness (Attachment A)and for the administration of workers'compensation claims as required by the State of Florida. PROCEDURE A.Claims Administration Service The following are third party claims administrators {TPA)who in accordance with Florida Statues Chapter 440,Workers'Compensation administer the City's workers'compensation claims: a.Preferred Governmental Claim Solutions (PGCS)provides third party claims administration services for accidents dated October 1,2013 to present.PGCS will provide the managed medical care administration. b.Accidents dated October 1,1989 to September 30,2013 are sent to Gallagher Bassett Services. c.Accidents dated October 1,1985 to September 30,1989 are sent to Florida League of Cities. d.Accidents dated October 1,1982 to September 30,1985 are sent to Gallagher Bassett Services. e.Accidents dated prior to October 1,1982 are sent to Hewitt Coleman and Associates. 8.First Report of Injury or Illness 1.If an on-the-job injury occurs during normal work hours,the Administrative Assistant will provide basic accident information by e-mail immediately to Risk Management (See Attachment G "Initial Notice of W/C Injury").For department/division name and code to which the accident is to be charged (See Attachment B). 2.If an on-the-job injury occurs after normal work hours,the Administrative Assistant will provide basic accident information by e-mail to Risk Management on the first full workday following the injury (See Attachment G).For department/division name and code to which the accident is to be charged (See Attachment B). Workers'Compensation Claims Administration RM-1O,Rev.6 Page 2 of 15 3.Risk Management immediately will e-mail this accident information to TPA (and others considered necessary by Risk Management).This e-mailing of accident information is simply intended to expedite the provision of medical care and claims administration. 4.For all on-the-job injuries/illnesses,regardless of the extent of an injury/illness,an original,fully completed First Report of Injury or Illness (Attachment A)signed at least by the employee's supervisor,will be sent by the Administrative Assistant to Risk Management within 48 hours after an accident.Attachment A shows certain information which must be included.Sending a First Report should not be delayed pending management signature;a supervisor's signature is acceptable.Nor should it be delayed pending the injured employee's signature.If applicable,the "Employee Signature"line should state:"Employee not available".The State can impose fines for late reporting.However,all First Reports (original or copy)must eventually be signed by the appropriate Department and Division Heads and sent to Risk Management. 5.Employee must report to their supervisor ALL injury or illness occurring during their work hours, regardless of the extent or nature.Not only could a delay in reporting jeopardize an employee's coverage under workers'compensation law,but a delay could result in medical complication and/or unnecessary medical care. 6.Risk Management will send the original First Report to TPA on the day received.TPA must properly report the claim to the State within 14 calendar days. 7.The First Report must include the Administrative Assistant's name,telephone number and the department/division name and code to which the accident is to be charged (See Attachment B). This person will be TPA's departmental contact. C.Accident Investigation Report,Workers'Compensation 1.An original,fully executed Accident Investigation Report,Workers'Compensation (Attachment C) will be sent by the Administrative Assistant to Risk Management as soon as possible,but no later than the third full workday after an accident.This should allow the department time to fully investigate the accident.The Safety Coordinator can always be asked to assist. 2.Risk Management will send a copy to the TPA D.Request for Full Pay During Workers'Compensation Absence 1.As applicable per Personnel Policy Manual,Section 12.1,"On the Job Injury",or union contract, employees who are absent from work duty because of a work-related illness or injury can receive their full pay for a period of ninety (90)consecutive calendar days,beginning at the employee's discretion. 2.The employee must execute the "90-Day Benefit Form"(Attachment D).The Administrative Assistant will complete the "90 Days paid through"section at the bottom and distribute as indicated no later than the Friday proceeding the next payday.If not received on time,payroll will presume the start date to be the date of the accident. 3.The Administrative Assistant will verify and properly record workers compensation pay codes (Attachment E)on the employee's timesheet. Workers'Compensation Claims Administration RM-10,Rev.6 Page 3 of 15 E.Wage Statement 1.To enable the correct calculation of wage benefits due under the workers'compensation law,the City is required to provide TPA with specific wage information of the injured employee. 2.If necessary,Risk Management will send an e-mail (Attachment H)to the Administrative Assistant requesting specific wage information to enable the benefit calculation. 3.The Administrative Assistant will complete and return this e-mail to Risk Management as soon as possible but no later than the third full workday. F.Initial Medical Care 1.If emergency medical treatment is required;"9-911"will be called immediately.If any doubt,"9- 911"should be called.No prior authorization is required for emergency medical treatment. 2.If non-emergency medical treatment is required,the employee must report the accident to the supervisor.The supervisor will make sure the injured employee goes to a local medical facility with which the City has arranged for initial medical care. 3.If medical treatment is required after "normal"work hours (e.g.,nights,holidays),of typically used medical facilities,the injured employee will obtain medical care from Delray Medical Center or Bethesda Hospital.However,the employee should follow up with the City's local medical facility as directed by the supervisor. 4.If medical care is requested by the employee,a First Report must be completed by the Department and properly distributed,and initial medical care provided. 5.If medical care is deemed necessary by the Department but the employee refuses medical care,A First Report must be completed by the Department and properly distributed,indicating in the block entitled "Name,Address and Telephone of Physician or Hospital":Employee refused medical care". 6.If medical care initially does not appear necessary because of a very minor accident,a First Report must be completed as in "D"above,but in the block entitled "Name,Address and Telephone of Physician or Hospital",the following wording must be stated:"Initial medical care not considered necessary by the department or employee."The supervisor must follow up with the employee to make sure this medical condition does not worsen and subsequently require medical care. 7.The employee should identify themselves at the medical facility as a City of Delray Beach employee by either presenting the Medical Care &Work Authorization form (Attachment F)which is provided by the Administrative Assistant or their City picture identification card.If necessary,the Administrative Assistant or Supervisor may be contacted by the local medical facility to confirm City employment. The employee must inform the medical facility that treatment is required due to an on-the-job injury. 8.An injured employee should never be denied "unauthorized"medical care if considered urgent and necessary.Unless considered urgent,emergency medical providers (e.g.,referral by the emergency room doctor or the EMT's)cannot authorize workers'compensation medical care;only the Risk Manager can,or the TPA at the Risk Manager's direction. Workers'Compensation Claims Administration RM-10,Rev.6 Page 4 of 15 G.Authorization for Medical Care 1.The City has arranged with a local medical facility to provide initial medical are during "normal"work hours.Such facilities and hours of operation will be publicized in each department by Risk Management. 2.The medical provider will fax to TPA all medical documents and referrals (e.g.,specialists,x-rays, etc.) 3.TPA will contact the employee and authorize all medical care. 4.Once TPA has authorized any physician,employee is responsible to schedule follow-up appointments. 5.The employee should take prescriptions to any major pharmacy chain.Attachment I is a memorandum sent to all Administrative Assistants which explains the procedure to follow for the employee to obtain necessary and discounted medications prescribed by their authorized treating physician(s). 6.The employee is required to report to the department on their work status immediately after any medical care,including physician's written verification of that status. 7.The department may call the treating physician,TPA or Risk Management if there are questions related to the claim,or if additional claim information is needed. 8.Whether the claim involves "medical only"care or involves "lost days"from work,TPA will determine which adjuster is specifically assigned to administer the claim. H.Departmental Claims Administration 1.The Department has a right to monitor and control the time an injured employee is away from their job because of workers'compensation related medical care,such as routine doctor visits or physical therapy.The scheduling of medical appointments during work hours should be made while considering medical necessity and also to ensure a minimal disruption to departmental operations. The employee should be expected to return from a medical appointment within a reasonable time frame or otherwise explain any excessive delays.If available,employees may schedule appointments after their normal work hours. 2.The Department will maintain routine contact with an employee who is unable to work because of an on-the-job injury.Not only is such a practice appropriate in an employer/employee relationship, but this will allow Management the opportunity to identify claim related concerns or problems of the employee. 3.The Department will obtain from the injured employee documentation which evidences the reason for any medical related absences from work (physical therapy,doctor appointments)and/or the current medical status (light duty restrictions,a release to full duty,unable to return to work).Such documentation immediately must be forwarded to Risk Management. Workers'Compensation Claims Administration RM-10,Rev.6 Page 5 of 15 4.The Department will advise Risk Management of any discrepancies or delays in benefits being provided to an injured employee. 5.Other City policies related to workers'compensation claims administration are Per-7,Temporary Disability/Light Duty,and Personnel Policy Manual,Section 12.1,"On the Job Injury". 6.The employee is required to report to the department on their work status immediately after any medical care,including the physician's written verification of that status. I.Risk Management Claims Administration 1.Risk Management will coordinate and manage activities related to the overall claims'administration process,especially involving correspondence and contact with TPA. 2.Risk Management will become directly involved with a department in the administration of a specific claim whenever a claim is identified as presenting a problem or concern relative to servicing agencies or medical providers.If the claim presents a complex medical situation or the claim has a large loss potential,Risk Management will also become involved.The Department will be responsible to notify Risk Management whenever any such specific assistance is required. J.Return to Work Goal 1.While an employee is unable to work because of an on-the-job injury,the Department will maintain contact with the employee to show their concern with the employee's wellbeing and to identify any problems or questions,thereby minimizing the employee's frustration. 2.The goal of all parties is to return the employee to work;preferably full duty,otherwise restricted duty as soon as the employee is considered medically able. 3.If an employee has been released to return to work with restrictions,the Department should make every effort to accommodate the employee,either within their own DepartmenUDivision or formally request Human Resources to seek temporary,restricted work assignment within another Department.The employee's Department would still be charged with the employee's wages.
