Workers' Compensation

The Commonwealth of Virginia selected MANAGED CARE INNOVATIONS (MCI) to manage the Commonwealth's workers' compensation program. To the extent granted by the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act, the MCI team coordinates the medical and disability benefits related to employees' claims. To qualify under workers' compensation, the injury or illness must be determined by MCI to fall within the parameters of "arising out of and in the course of employment."

The following are steps you should follow if you are injured on the job:

1. In the event of a medical emergency, seek medical attention immediately.

2. Report all details of the incident or injury to Human Resources and your supervisor as soon as possible. An investigation needs to be performed to explore safety prevention issues and claim compensability.  The accident investigation form may be accessed by clicking HERE.

3. Complete all required forms in Human Resources. These forms are then submitted to MCI.

4. You will be offered a panel of physicians. You must select a physician from the list provided. Please note, if you choose to go to a physician other than the panel provider, you may be responsible for the cost of the medical services. If you are to be admitted to the hospital, your medical provider should call MCI (804-649-2288).

5. This program also provides for the payment of pharmacy prescriptions. The Human Resources Office can provide a special prescription card to be used at participating pharmacies.
