Workers' Compensation

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911.

All work-related injuries should be reported to a supervisor immediately and a school nurse, if possible. If neither are available, report to a site administrator.

Below are some important notices about workers' compensation.

HBUHSD is self-insured for workers' compensation. Sedgwick acts as our third-party administrator.

In the event you sustain an injury or illness related to your employment, you may be treated for such injury/illness by your personal medical doctor (M.D) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) or medical group if:

  • You have health care insurance for injuries/illness that are not work related, the doctor is your regular physician, who shall be either a physician who has limited his or her practice of medicine to general practice or who is a board-certified or board-eligible internist, pediatrician, obstetrician-gynecologist, or family practitioner, and has previously directed your medical treatment, and retains your medical records;
  • Your personal physician may be a medical group if it is a single corporation or partnership composed of licensed doctors of medicine or osteopathy, which operates an integrated multi-specialty medical group providing comprehensive medical services predominantly for non-occupational illnesses and injuries;
  • Prior to the injury, your doctor agrees to treat you for work injuries or illnesses; prior to the injury, you provided your employer the following in writing: (1) notice that you want your personal doctor to treat you for a work-related injury/illness, and (2) your personal doctor's name and business address.
 

You may use the form below, a form provided HBUHSD, or provide all the information in writing to notify your employer if you wish to have your personal medical doctor or a doctor osteopathic medicine treat you for a work-related injury/illness, and the above requirements are met.

  • If you suffer an injury, but do not wish to file a workers' compensation claim at this time, the Employee Incident Report should be completed and turned into your site's Health Office.
