Worker’s Compensation covers disability incurred through accident or occupational disease—arising out of, and in the course of, employment—that requires medical, surgical, or hospital treatment.
The Diocese of Raleigh Workers’ Compensation policy is provided through The Hartford. Claims are to be processed directly by the parish/school to The Hartford. Claims should be reported within five days of the date of the employee’s injury.
If an employee needs to seek treatment for a work-related injury, the employee should go to an urgent care that handles workers’ compensation cases. Please note that visits to a primary care physician for a work-related injury will not be covered by the workers’ compensation carrier. If the injury is severe, the employee should go to the emergency room of the closest hospital. An injured employee should always notify the urgent care or hospital that their injury is work related so that claims are not filed against their employer or private health insurance.
