Important Information
Medical Treatment for Your Workplace Injury
• If you need to seek medical treatment for your work injury, you must report to the Ghering
Health Center for medical evaluation and treatment. If it is determined that more extensive
treatment is needed beyond the services provided by the Ghering medical staff, you must be
treated by a panel provider.
• If you are referred to a panel physician, you must treat with the panel provider for the first 90
days of treatment. If you are referred to an off-panel provider by a panel physician, you need
to contact the Human Resources Office prior to seeing the non-panel physician. Payment for
services provided by a non-panel provider during the first 90-day period will be the
student employees’ responsibility unless a referral is received from a panel provider.
Claim Number
• A claim number cannot be assigned until an Injury Report is received in the Human Resources
Office. The student employee must contact the Human Resources Office to receive their claim
number. When receiving treatment for an injury, the student employee will need to give their
claim number to the provider. All medical claims/forms received from the medical provider
must be returned to the Human Resources Office. The Human Resources staff will then
forward all related materials to Inservco, PASSHE’s third party administrator for workers’
compensation claims.
Questions
Questions regarding Injury Reports and Workers’ Compensation issues should be directed to the
Human Resources Office, Reeder Hall, 2nd Floor, (814) 732-2703.
