Determine if medical assistance is needed. For serious injuries, call 911 or
call ahead to a network medical
provider. Review the information in the workers' compensation
packet that explains your options for referrals to doctors and medical
facilities.
-
Report the injury immediately (See
the Importance of Prompt Reporting) to Penn National Insurance at 800.374.4990.
Please call us even if you do not have all of the
claim information.
Important notice to PA employers: PA
employers are required by law to provide a "Workers'
Compensation Information" document to employees at the time of an
injury.
-
The supervisor should accompany the injured employee to the doctor or medical
facility and then accompany the employee back to work or home.
-
If the employee is unable to work, you should call them frequently to ask how
they feel and when they will see the doctor again. Remind them that many people
care about their progress and want to see them recover and return to their job
as soon as possible.
-
If the doctor releases your employee with restrictions, find light (modified or
transitional) duty tasks for an early return to work.
-
Returning your employee to work is a TEAM effort. Please keep the adjuster
informed of any changes or developments.
