Excerpt

Employees who are injured or become ill

...

due to their employment may have some of their medical care costs covered under the

...

worker's compensation program. Workers Compensation programs vary by state.

...

Any employee who is injured while performing ministry responsibilities should seek appropriate medical care and then report their injury to their supervisor and Employment Services as soon as possible.

See the additional information provided below for receiving care and reporting your injury, based on the specific state/location in which you normally work.


Tip
titleThings to Know

Although every state has different guidelines for the process of approving worker's compensation claims, the following general tips are helpful to follow when seeking care for a workers compensation claim:

  1. Please make sure you indicate to all medical care providers that this is a worker's compensation case and that all claims should be submitted to Reliant's applicable Worker's Compensation carrier for that state vs. processing the claim through your personal medical insurance.
  2. Please ensure ALL prescribed treatments and additional doctor's appt referrals/follow-ups are submitted to/approved by the worker's compensation carrier/claim representative assigned to your case. This is especially applicable for additional specialist referrals and PT appointments.  
  3. Please make sure you're aware of the provider network for the Worker's Compensation coverage and that the medical treatment providers you receive treatment from accepting this coverage as "in-network."

titleState of Washington - Workers Compensation Claims


UI Steps


UI Step

Get Medical Help

If further treatment beyond basic first aid is necessary, go to the emergency room or healthcare provider of your choice and tell them you were injured at work.

What to expect from your medical provider

Your doctor will:

  • Certify whether your injury is work-related
  • Help you file a workers’ compensation claim
  • Work with you to decide when you can return to work
  • Recommend any further treatment you may need

If you need medical care after the first visit

For your second visit and beyond, you will need to see a provider in the WA L&I network. If your regular health care provider is not in their network, encourage them to join or choose a new one with our Find a Doctor tool.

You may choose any qualified doctor to treat your injury, as long as they are in WA L&I's network. You also may get a second medical opinion if your claim manager approves it. You can change providers at any time and/or communicate with your claim manager via WA L&I's online portal, My L&I.

Filing a Claim may happen later, but if your Dr's office files it for you, that's also possible.


UI Step

Gather your Claim Information 

Gather the following information before you report your claim:

  • The location where the injury occurred
  • Contact information for any witnesses to the injury
  • Employer information
  • Wage information
  • Names and birth dates of your dependents
  • If you have already seen a doctor:
    • Your doctor's first and last name
    • Hospital or clinic where you received treatment

You may choose to file a claim immediately or wait until after you have notified Reliant. Steps for filing are listed below.


UI Step

Report the Injury to your Reliant Supervisor and Reliant

Send an email to benefits@reliant.org or call your program team liaison, who can help get you in contact with the Employment Services Department.

What to expect from your employer

Your employer needs to:

  • Make sure you receive prompt medical attention.
  • Complete the employer section of the accident report form. 
  • Look for return-to-work opportunities with light-duty work if medically approved. This can help maintain your salary and speed your recovery while keeping claim costs down for them.
  • Your employer has the right to access your claim file, including mental health information. An employer can only reveal your mental health condition(s) or treatment to authorized people to access the information.  


UI Step

File your Claim

Washington L&I strives to make filing a claim as easy as possible, and you have options:

  • Online via our FileFast tool
  • By phone: 1-877-561-FILE (3453)
  • At your doctor’s office (if you complete the Report of Accident at your doctor's office, the doctor files the form for you)


UI Step

Track/Update the status of your claim

Calling your claim manager

Every claim managed by L&I is assigned a claim manager, and there are times when you might need to speak with your claim manager directly. Your claim manager's phone number is located on all correspondence. You may also contact your local L&I office and ask for a phone referral. Your claim manager should call you within 48 hours.
