21 If prescribed, how do I get my prescription filled? If your authorized physician prescribes a prescription, please take the prescription to your pharmacist along with the information from MyMatrixx to ensure your prescriptions are billed directly to the insurance company. In rare cases you may be asked to pay for your medications: if this happens, you will be reimbursed any money you have to advance once receipts are provided to the insurance company. What is my responsibility when the doctor places me on restricted duty? It is your responsibility to communicate with your Supervisor and Workers’ Compensation Risk Management Specialist following your appointments. If you are given restrictions or placed out of work any time during your treatment, please ensure they are communicated to your Supervisor and Workers’ Compensation Risk Management Specialist immediately. Please remember, the doctor gives you restrictions until your next visit to help you recover from your injury. It is extremely important that you observe your restrictions at work as well as in your daily life. If you are placed on medical leave please contact your Human Resources Total Rewards team for information pertaining to filing a request for medical leave due to your workers’ compensation status. The contact extensions information can be had online at http://www.nova.edu/hr/staff.html. Do I have to attend my appointments? Yes. Time, effort and expense are put into providing your medical care. If you do not follow the doctor’s direction and attend all medical appointments your case may be terminated for non-compliance and all benefits suspended. If a medical bill comes to my house, what do I do? Fax or mail the medical bill to the Risk Management Office (fax # 954-262-6860/3814). The Workers’ Compensation Risk Management Specialist relates it to the claim and forwards it to your adjuster. CCMSI will pay all authorized invoices for your claim. Otherwise, you can elect to forward the bill to your CCMSI adjuster (fax. 217-477-6623) or by email to the adjuster. Will I get paid mileage to my medical appointments? If you, a family member or friend drives you to an authorized appointment, physical therapy, hospital, diagnostic testing or pharmacy you are entitled to mileage reimbursement @ 45 cents per mile or current rate. A form is available to document the appropriate mileage. What do I do if I can’t make my appointment or do not have transportation? Call CCMSI immediately at 407-660-5637 or 866‐291‐0194. When do I get my first check? You should receive the first check within three (3) weeks after reporting your injury to FICURMA/CCMSI and have been off work by an authorized treating physician beyond the waiting period. All injured workers must report any wages (from all employment) earned to the insurance carrier. How much will I be paid? In most cases, benefits are calculated at 66 2/3 percent of your average weekly wage up to the state max for the year of your accident. If you were injured on or after October 1, 2003, your average weekly wage is calculated using wages earned 13 weeks prior to your injury, not counting the week in which you were injured
