Workers' Compensation

Life-Threatening

Call 911 immediately. Injured employee should be transported by ambulance to the nearest emergency facility for immediate medical attention. 

Non-Life Threatening

Immediate Steps:

• Injured employee should immediately notify their supervisor, no matter how small the injury.
• The injured employee should work with their supervisor to fill out a Supervisor's Accident Report. Email the signed report to aubrienield@isu.edu within 24 hours, where possible. These reports should be kept on file in the department.

Seeking Medical Treatment:

• If the injured employee seeks medical treatment they should call Risk Management, (208) 282-5741, to start the claim and file a First Report of Injury.
• Risk Management will submit the claim to the Idaho State Insurance Fund who will investigate, evaluate, and make a final determination on the claim. 
• Where possible, the injured employee should seek treatment from our preferred providers (University Health Center, or Health West) for ease of claim coordination. Employees at our Meridian and Idaho Falls locations may seek treatment at a facility of their choice since there are no preferred providers designated for these campuses.
• If a specialist is needed, our preferred providers can recommend you.
• After hours, the employee may seek treatment at an Immediate Care or Emergency Center of their choice.
