TRAVELERSJft, Travelers Medical Provider Network (MPN) Plan — CALIFORNIA Necessary Action for MPN Participation Dear Policyholder: As your workers compensation insurer, Travelers is pleased to include your Company in our California Medical Provider Network (MPN) plan. Travelers has an extensive MPN with physicians who understand workers compensa- tion and are experienced in providing expert care for injured workers. Our program ensures that every covered employee that suffers a work -related injury or illness has access to prompt medical care and an improved likelihood of a safe return to work as soon as medically appropriate. MPN utilization can reduce overall workers compensation claim payouts by providing greater control over medical fees and obtaining more favorable medical treatment outcomes. Your role is crucial to the success of the MPN program. Together, we can better manage your Workers Compensation claims within the MPN. The MPN is a standard product in all Travelers workers compensation policies, and all policyholders are expected to participate. This information is being provided to you to help you understand the requirements for proper MPN participation. The State Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) regulates how an employee is notified of an employer's MPN participation. Section § 9767.12 of Title 8, California Code of Regulations specifies what notices are to be provided to employees, as well as when and how they are to be provided. Information about the Travelers MPN and notice requirements is available to policyholders on www.travelers.com. Please type this web address into your browser to access the information: www.travelers.com/CAMPN A "Frequently Asked Questions" page is also available through the above web address. Look for the link called FAQ — MPN. If you have additional, general questions regarding the MPN and do not have a contact in the Claim Department, you can contact the Travelers MPN Team by calling (800) 287-9682 or sending an email to CAMPN@travelers.com. Please listen for the prompts for Employers or Employer Representatives. In addition to reviewing the information on our web page, we also recommend that you: • Make sure your management staff has instructions on how to access the MPN Medical Provider directory via www.travelers.com/CAMPN. • Select an occupational medicine clinic, urgent care clinic, or, an acute care hospital from the MPN to serve as your designated initial injury treatment facility for each plant/location. Contact this facility and inform them that you are participating in the Travelers Medical Provider Network Plan. Update the State Posting Notices to in- clude the name, address, and phone number of the facility. • Review your procedures for handling work -related injuries, your modified duty policy, and your safety commit- tee operation with your management staff. We believe the MPN program will provide better overall workers compensation outcomes for you as an employer.
