Triumph Workers’ Compensation
Access to Treatment
We have a dedicated team of orthopedic physicians and staff specially trained in workers’ compensation ready to help. A physician will see an injured employee within 24-48 hours after an injury, and provide same-day follow-ups so you know exactly what the status of the patient is as soon as we do.
Communication
Our Triumph program commitment is to provide workers’ compensation administrators with the right information to return employees back to work quickly and safely. Our support team includes trained teams to assist you and ensure the documentation you need is provided accurately and within 24 hours of each patient visit.
Consistency of Care
Our Triumph Employer Profiles® are customized with your specific preferences, requirements, documentation and third party information. The seamlessness of our partnership will position us as an extension of your team.
Steps to File a Workers' Compensation Claim
- Report the Injury: Notify your employer about the injury or illness within 30 days.
- Seek Medical Attention: If an emergency, get immediate medical help if necessary. If not an emergency, visit a doctor from your employer’s approved network, if required.
- Employer’s Responsibilities: Your employer files the First Report of Injury (DWC Form-001) with the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC).
- File a Claim with DWC: If needed, file the Employee’s Claim for Compensation (DWC Form-041) with the DWC within one year of the injury.
- Insurance Carrier’s Role: The insurance carrier investigates the claim and notifies you of its acceptance or denial.
- Receive Medical Treatment and Benefits: Continue receiving necessary medical treatment and receive income benefits if the injury results in lost wages.
- Return to Work: Communicate with your employer about your work status and any needed accommodations.
