Senior Living Handbook 2018

 You are responsible to accept the medical treatment provided by the Company or a local physician referred to by the Company.  Virginia team members: You must select a medical provider from a panel of three (3) physicians provided by the Company. Panels are posted in each community.  Maryland team members: Medical providers can be selected by the injured team member; however, if you need assistance in finding providers in your area speak with the Business Office Manager or contact the workers’ compensation carrier. The community also has posted a list of local medical providers who accept workers’ compensation. All team members who have an on-the-job injury that requires medical treatment may undergo an immediate drug and alcohol screening test. If you fail to report accidents and/or injuries promptly and/or refuse to use the panel of physicians and services provided, the Workers’ Compensation carrier may question and/or deny your claim. North Carolina team members: 1. Report the injury to your supervisor immediately, do not wait until the end of your shift. 2. Complete an Incident Report form and give it to the Business Office Manager or the Executive Director. 3. Obtain prior approval from a supervisor or the Executive Director for any medical treatment or examination for all work-related injuries. If you fail to get prior approval, you may be held personally responsible for the bill. 4. You may be directed to submit to a drug and alcohol screening test, regardless of severity, if you require medical treatment. 5. Medical documentation will be required to be delivered to the community, by you, after every visit to the physician. Keep your supervisor informed as to the status of your injury. 6. Should you lose work time of one or more days, you must have a signed release from a physician in order to return to work. 7. You may be requested to attend a conference with the Executive Director and/or safety committee. If your injury was caused by your failure to follow safety rules, you may be subject to discipline up to and including dismissal. Team members who fail to immediately report a work-related injury or illness may jeopardize both their own health and their eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits. We encourage you to ask questions regarding workers’ compensation procedures, eligibility, and benefits. ACCIDENTS & INCIDENTS If you are hurt on the job please follow these procedures:
