As soon as you are able, after you have received treatment for the injury, you must come to Human Resources to complete the necessary Workers' Compensation forms. Even if you did not miss any significant amount of work or incur any medical bills due to the injury, having documentation of the injury on file will facilitate the filing of a Workers’ Compensation claim should there be any complications from the injury at a later time. The information provided will enable the university to review the circumstances surrounding the injury and act where possible to remove or lessen the risk of further related injury. Where a doctor determines that the injury requires time off work and/or a limitation of work activities, all documentation, including a release to return to work, should be submitted to Human Resources. Employees returning to work should report to Human Resources prior to their work assignment.
Biola's workers' compensation insurance through GuideOne Insurance Company pays all medical and hospital costs of most types of accidents and other injuries that are determined to be job related. Workers' compensation insurance also pays two-thirds of your average wage, subject to minimums and maximums set by state legislature, if you miss more that three days of work. If you are hospitalized or are disabled for more than 14 calendar days, your salary will be covered retroactively to the first workday missed. You do not have to pay income or FICA (Social Security) taxes on this income.
Biola is part of CorVel’s Medical Provider Network (MPN). An injured employee needs to go to one of the facilities listed above for their first appointment. If the employee decides they do not want to continue treatment at either of the facilities, they are allowed to go to another doctor within the MPN. To find a doctor within the MPN, please go to CorVel’s website at www.corvel.com. If an employee has pre-designated their own physician they will still go to one of the facilities listed above for the initial appointment. Following the initial appointment, they can choose to go to their doctor for continued treatment.
