SEICTF is responsible for payment to the medical care provider. The employee will not be charged for co-payments or deductibles. And, employees participating in the SEICTF program are not required to provide an ABC medical validation form in order to return to work.
Election for Lost Time Benefits... • If your on-the-job injury results in you missing more than 3 days of work, your options for lost time benefits are: • For the first 3 days you should: • Use available annual/sick leave, or • Take unpaid days. • After 3 days you should: • Take SEICTF benefit of two-thirds pay with no deductions, or • Take available annual/sick leave.
Private Healthcare Providers • Injured employees may choose not to participate in the SEICTF program and may choose to be treated by their own private healthcare provider. • Employee will be required to pay all co-pays and deductibles. • Employee will not be allowed to return to work until such time that the private healthcare provider validates on an ABC medical validation form that the employee can perform all essential functions of the job.
Summary • Report any injury to your supervisor immediately. • The supervisor will give you the necessary packet and forms. • In the case of emergencies, seek medical attention immediately. • Complete the Authorization for Initial Treatment and Pharmacy, The First Report of Injury and the Accident Report-Employee Statement.
Summary • If you do not wish to seek medical treatment, indicate this on the First Report of Injury form under section 17. • However, if your supervisor deems your injury serious enough he/she may require you to seek treatment. • If you do not wish to see an authorized gatekeeper and do not wish to receive SEICTF benefits indicate this on section 17 of the First Report of Injury.
Who’s responsible? • It is your responsibility to make sure the necessary forms are completed and returned to your supervisor. • Your supervisor will be responsible for communicating with SEICTF and the ABC Personnel Office and faxing all necessary forms.
