Workers’ Compensation Procedure
If you or one of your employees is hurt in a work-related injury, here are your next steps. Please remember that work-related injuries can occur on or off campus.
If this is a severe injury, seek medical treatment immediately. Otherwise, please review the following steps:
-
Contact me at (504) 865-3141 or (504) 723-7870.
-
The injured employee and supervisor each will complete an accident report. Both reports can be found at Worker's Compensation Forms | Worker's Compensation Forms (loyno.edu).
-
Once submitted, the reports are sent to me so I can set up the claim and coordinate the initial medical treatment. We prefer to use Concentra occupational medical clinic.
-
See the healthcare provider.
-
Follow up medical appointments, treatments and physical therapy appointments must be approved by your adjuster.
-
Follow up medical appointments, treatments and physical therapy appointments should be scheduled after normal business hours. If not, they should be scheduled at the beginning/end of your normal work day.
-
The employee will forward all paperwork from follow up appointments to me at claims@loyno.edu including any bills that may be received.
-
Get well soon.
