Abstract

Injured employees require medical care and, if disabled, compensation payments for subsistence. The law requires that the employer or insurance carrier supply these benefits promptly. In the absence of prompt and adequate information from the attending physician, these benefits are withheld. The necessary information required to process employee's claim is that called for on the standard accident report form, commonly called the "pink slip." Not to supply this minimum information may constitute a hardship on the employee. By supplying more elaborate information than that called for, the physician may be increasing his load of "paper work" immeasurably.
