2582.2     TREATMENT BY A PHYSICIAN
(REVISED  3/96) 

Notice to State Employee form, STD. 621, provides for a listing of physicians who will accept Workers' Compensation cases.  The agency is required to provide the names, addresses, and phone numbers of physicians in the vicinity of the place of employment.  State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF) will assist in locating these physicians.

Supervisors are responsible for getting the injured person to a physician for the first treatment.  The supervisor must have the physician's estimate of the employee's limitations, an estimate of when the employee can return to work, and the schedule of treatment for the recovery period.  Such information can be obtained from the physician, SCIF Adjuster, or the employee.  After the first treatment by a physician, SCIF will follow-up on further treatment and recovery of the injured.
