For non-emergency treatment call HESS x8554 to arrange for an appointment. You will need to present photo identification at your first visit.
3. Investigation:
All work-related illnesses or injuries must have an Accident Investigation. Call HESS x8554 to report an accident.
4. Financial responsibility:
UCAR's Workers Compensation insurance covers all work related injuries. All bills are normally sent directly to the insurance provider. If you erroneously receive bills please forward those to HESS.
5. Prescriptions may be filled at any major chain. If the pharmacy questions the coverage, please have the pharmacy contact the assigned claim adjuster to verify coverage.
Is It Work-Related or Not? |
Occasionally, you may not know if the illness or injury is work related. Contact HESS if you think the illness or injury may be work related. If you go to the designated provider before the cause is determined (work related or not) the charges will be held until the designated provider clarifies the nature of the illness or injury. Generally, the insurance provider pays the charges incurred during this period in full. If the illness or injury is then determined not to be work-related, you must go to your personal physician for treatment. In this situation, your regular insurance carrier will handle the subsequent charges.
