Exceptions are: Need for emergency hospital care Serious injury that occurs after CHC clinic hours Injury that occurs outside Las Cruces area Important information for injured workers: Any on the job injury should be reported immediately to a supervisor The CHC has a Workers Comp Specialist to assist employee with necessary paperwork, if outside Las Cruces give to supervisor or local HR Representative All paperwork, medical reports, return to work slips must be given to supervisor and WC Specialist Every claim will be investigated by the WC Specialist and the Risk Management Division. If the claim is accepted, payment will be made for anything directly related to the on-the-job injury. If the claim is denied, the injured employee is responsible for medical expenses.
