MEDICAL TREATMENT - 2582

It is state policy to provide all necessary and reasonable medical treatment to an employee who suffers an injury or illness on the job. Each department by law, must post in a conspicuous location frequented by employees a Notice to Employees poster (English e13913) (Spanish e13914). This notice informs an employee of his or her right to receive medical treatment in the event of a work-related illness or injury and of his or her right to pre-designate a personal physician. The notice shall list the contact information for the hospital and physician the department has selected to provide treatment in the event of a work-related illness or injury.

Departments must also post the Guide to the State Fund Medical Provider Network (MPN) for State of California Employees brochure (e13174) in close proximity to this notice. The State Fund MPN is a selected network of physicians and other medical service providers who provide treatment to workers injured on the job.
