Coverage Tailored To Your Needs
- Workers’ Compensation coverage protects injured employees by providing medical and wage benefits. This coverage also protects members from employers’ liability related to injuries in the workplace. While no one wants to be injured on the job, when injuries do occur we provide additional services to manage recovery, including:
- Comp-Care On Call
- First-Fill Prescription Program
- Return-to-Work Programs
- Telemedicine
- Workers’ Compensation Plus (WC Plus) protects injured employees from losses due to expenses not covered under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act. WC Plus provides for these additional incurred expenses, as well as the cost of bloodborne pathogen testing.
CompCare On-Call
Provides access to a registered nurse 24/7 immediately following a workplace incident to provide immediate medical advice and assistance in their treatment decisions via a toll-free number. Accident reports and claims are filed on behalf of the member through this service, helping reduce claims costs.
First Fill Prescription
Provides payment for the first prescription(s) needed by an injured employee, ensuring they face no out-of-pocket expenses – even if the claim is later found to be non-compensable. Through workers’ compensation coverage, injured employees have access to more than 1,500 pharmacies throughout Virginia.
Return to Work Programs
Transitioning back to pre-injury work can be aided through modified duty. This can be offered once the treating physician feels it is safe for the employee and provides information on the injured employee’s capabilities. VRSA’s patient advocates assist employers wishing to create or implement a Return-To-Work program.
VRSA also offers access to LightDuty Pathway (LDP), an online service providing light duty for workers recovering from an injury when other opportunities are not available. Through LDP, workers are guided through up to eight hours of interactive curriculum per day, with timed breaks for rest or lunch.
Telemedicine
Accidents happen. Fortunately, VRSA and our partner, Concerta, are there to help you move forward. Concerta is leading the telehealth revolution by redefining how workers’ compensation cases are managed. Through telemedicine, employees can virtually consult with a healthcare provider at the time of injury.
