Is it Covered? Any injury or illness resulting from employment at TUHS is covered. This includes everything from first-aid injuries to serious accidents. Job-related illnesses are covered too.

What Paperwork Must I Submit? If off-site and unable to access the network If unable to complete a MIDAS, the Workers’ Comp Incident Report form is located on the TUHS SharePoint site. If on-site or able to access the network Fill out a MIDAS Report immediately after you are injured or become ill. – Your Rights and Responsibilities are contained in the MIDAS report, similar to the one you signed during your orientation.

What Should I Report?

You MUST report all injuries or illness whether you seek Workers’ Comp benefits or not. All bangs, scrapes, slips, falls, even near misses – should be reported. Incident Reports allow TUHS to assess risks and better prevent accidents

What Benefits Will I Receive? The benefits depend on the nature and extent of your injuries. Medical care, including supplies and prescriptions will be covered as long as you need them; you may also be entitled to lost wages.

Treatment TUHS selects a panel of six or more health care providers for employees to visit for the initial 90 days of treatment for their injuries/illnesses. The names of the panel providers are posted in the Human Resources, Employee Bulletin Boards and on the Workers’ Compensation SharePoint Website.
