Maine Workers’ Compensation Law entitles employers to select health care providers to service injured/ill employees within the first ten days of treatment. Bates College has selected a local, hospital-affiliated provider for this purpose:

The College requires that all employees needing medical care for work-related injuries or illnesses to be evaluated by this provider. Bates HR can provide an authorization form for medical treatment. Please contact benefits@bates.edu for more information.

This organization has expertise in the prevention, treatment, and management of work-related injuries and illnesses. They are a full service provider and are conveniently located just three minutes from campus. Appointments are recommended but not required.
