Desert Sands's WORKERS' COMPENSATION

WORKERS' COMPENSATION

Desert Sands Unified School District is self-insured for workers' compensation. Keenan & Associates is the district's claims administrator. This means all medical and other costs associated with work injuries are paid directly by the district's general fund.

Employees must report all accidents, injuries, and near accidents/injuries immediately to their supervisor. The supervisor is required to complete an injury report for all workplace injuries and forward the report to Risk Management. The injured employee is responsible to submit a copy of each and every physician work status after a physician appointment. All physician and physical therapy appointment dates and times are required to be reported to your site and Risk Management. It is recommended that all appointments be scheduled after your normal work hours.

If an employee requires medical treatment for a workplace injury or illness, the supervisor will refer the injured worker to Company Nurse at 1-877-518-6702 and reference code QS729. The employee is required contact Risk Management after the physician visit to obtain additional information and treatment authorization forms.
