Workers Comp
Workers Compensation is an insurance
plan provided by most employers (by law) to pay certain benefits
to employees who are injured in accidents that arise out of,
and in the course of, employment. The injured worker must
notify his/ her supervisor of an injury. You must furnish
the hospital with complete information on your employer’s
name and address. We will also need to know when, where and
how the accident occurred. Ideally, you should provide us
with the name and phone number of your supervisor.
If you have already been treated and have not yet reported
the accident to your employer, please do so immediately. Failure
to report the accident may result in loss of benefits. If
we file a claim that is denied by your employer, then you
are responsible for the hospital bill. We will file your regular
health insurance, but be aware they may deny the claim due
to lack of pre-authorization.
Medicare, Medicaid and most commercial insurance may not provide
primary coverage if you are the victim of an accident at work.
High Point Regional is required by law to file work-related
claims to your employer’s Workers Compensation carrier
even if you have Medicare or Medicaid. |
