Workers’ Compensation
Immediately make arrangements to provide the injured employee with appropriate medical care by calling the Managed Care Organization (QUALCARE: 877-822-9368).
Effective October 1, 2008, injured workers may file an application for emergent medical treatment based on "irreparable harm". Once an employer receives services of this application, a response must be made within five calendar days.

Complete this form on ALL cases where the employee sought more than first aid treatment regardless of whether the employee lost time from work:
