2 INTRODUCTION This booklet is intended to give information to you as a supervisor of an injured Nova Southeastern University employee, and to outline your obligations, rights, and responsibilities as an employer under the Florida Workers' Compensation Statue. The Office of Risk Management (ORM), Department of Financial Operations administers Title XXXI Chapter 440. Medical treatment for a work related injury is provided on a “medically necessary basis” that is determined by a treating physician. The current contract for medical case management is with Cannon Cochran Management Services, Inc. since July 1, 2015. This booklet is designed to provide general information to help you understand the employer's responsibilities under the statue. It is not intended to be used as a comprehensive guide on all workers' compensation issues you may encounter. The workers' compensation statue is constantly changing and many issues are determined by the factual circumstances of a claim and any applicable case law. In all instances, you will need to rely on the expertise of ORM's Workers' Compensation Manager, CCMSI, and defense counsel to manage claim(s). If you have questions regarding a particular claim in your department, please contact the Workers' Compensation Manager at 954-262-5404. We, at ORM, believe that by working together we can effectively provide appropriate benefits to all injured workers in a cost efficient manner and appreciate your continued support in educating employees about their benefit/rights under workers’ compensation. Should you require training on issues concerning workers’ compensation management or ergonomics please sign up at the Risk Management website http://www.nova.edu/cwis/fop/risk/training/index.html. Additionally, we have created training videos to further our efforts about campus safety please direct your staff to review these videos at our training site http://www.nova.edu/cwis/fop/risk/training/index.html.
