The following item should be maintained and updated as necessary throughout the year:
- Medical Benefits Examinations and Privilege. You need to designate a group of three or more reputable physicians or surgeons from which an injured employee can select for treatment of a compensable work related injury or occupational disease. If your injured worker is referred for additional treatment, EMPLOYERS will provide a panel of three physicians from the appropriate specialty. Your injured employee must then designate his/her selection in writing.
The following forms need to be completed and submitted to EMPLOYERS when a work-related injury occurs:
- VWC Form #3 First Report of Injury (FROI). As soon as you have been notified of a work-related injury, please fill out this form and submit it to EMPLOYERS. This form must be completed within 10 days from notice of an accident. Fatalities must be reported within 24 hours. You must use this form to notify EMPLOYERS of every work-related injury or disease suffered by an employee, regardless of severity.

Please complete the form and submit it to EMPLOYERS within five days after your knowledge of any accident that has caused your employee to be disabled for more than seven scheduled calendar work days.
- First Fill Form. This form provides your employees with basic information about our Pharmacy Benefit Program, including such things as the phone number to call to locate a First Fill participating pharmacy. When your employee becomes injured, please print and complete this form and provide it to your injured employee. Your employee will need to provide this completed form along with the prescription for his/her work-related injury or occupational disease to the pharmacist. Using this form will help enable quick authorization for your employee’s initial medication and ensure that the initial prescription is provided at no cost to the injured employee.
