Workers’ Comp Program Change: Treatment Should Be Sought at Specific Medical Facilities

All staff should have received an email last Friday that let you know of a change happening with the Agency’s workers’ compensation program. Effective immediately, Heartland AEA's workers' compensation carrier, EMC Insurance, has identified three medical facilities in metro Des Moines which employees may seek treatment at when they sustain an on-the-job injury. 

For employees who reside outside the Des Moines metro area, EMC also has a list of doctors/facilities they have contracted with outside the metro area. Many of you have asked to see that list at this time, so it is linked here and archived on a new Workers' Comp page on the Intranet under Benefits. The list is arranged by school district, only as a means to provide facilities across our service area. Don’t forget to email or mail the acknowledgement form to Juliette Houseman, Benefits Specialist, as soon as you can.
