What steps do I follow if I have a work related injury?

You must follow the steps below if you have a work related injury:

• Seek medical help IMMEDIATELY at current facility.
• During the day follow the steps in this form Workers Compensation. During off hours go to the Emergency Department (ED). Identify yourself as a Consortium employee and state that your injury is work related. DO NOT give anyone in the ED your Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance card. SHOW YOUR PURPLE CARD.
