Description -The University's Workers' Compensation Program is self-insured and managed by a third party administrator, Sedgwick, CMS.

Each campus, medical center and laboratory has a designated Workers' Compensation Manager and supporting staff responsible for overseeing their internal processes including:

• Claims management coordination with Sedgwick
• Injury reporting
• Initial treatment with designated medical provider
• Return-to-work programs
• Program trend analyses

Workers' Compensation Managers at each location (see directory at left) work in partnership with their designated Sedgwick claims office to coordinate exchange of information required for effective claim and risk management programs. The common goals for both entities are effective medical treatment and benefits administration in accordance with State workers' compensation laws and regulations, and cost management.
