It is the policy of the University of Hartford to provide a healthful and safe work environment for all its students, faculty, staff and visitors. This is accomplished through obtaining broad safety involvement and defining associated responsibilities. The goal is to minimize the number of accidents, injuries and cases of occupational illness on the University’s campus and properties. It is the responsibility of all employees to cooperate in this effort and to comply with the University’s safety practices and rules.
Any faculty, staff or student employee who sustains a work-related injury or illness is required, by law, to report the incident to his/her supervisor. In turn, the supervisor is accountable for reporting the circumstances surrounding the work-related injury/illness to Public Safety by calling ext. 7985 as well as alerting HRD by completing an Accident Investigation Form immediately following the accident/incident. This form must be hand-carried or faxed to HRD (fax 4732) as soon as possible. HRD will then submit a First Report of Injury and coordinate claims processing with The Hartford, the University’s Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier.
The University participates in the Connecticut Medical Managed Care Plan, with approved network providers available to treat work-related injuries/illnesses. Failure to use a network provider for a work-related injury/illness may result in denial of medical and/or lost wage benefits. To access The Hartford’s On-Line Provider Search go to The Hartford’s Provider Directory, choose the search type you would like (Quick Search, Name, Region, etc.), enter your criteria, then click “Find Providers”.
The University’s preferred providers for treatment of a work-related injury/illness are Concentra Medical Center and St. Francis Center for Occupational Health.
Supervisors (or designees) must contact CONCENTRA or ST. FRANCIS to pre-authorize their employee’s visit.
Pharmacy Benefit
The Pharmacy Benefit Management Program offered by the insurance carrier helps employers control prescription costs while providing timely and efficient pharmaceutical services to injured workers. Pharmacies that are connected have 24-hour access to the insurance carrier’s database of claimants; therefore, they are able to verify whether or not your claim has been filed.
If you have a work-related injury/illness that requires a prescription, inform the pharmacist that the prescription is for a work-related injury and supply your name and social security number. If the claim has been reported to the insurance carrier, the prescription will be filled at no cost to you.
Questions regarding this policy should be directed to your designated HR Representative.
