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.
