The Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents has updated its Notice to Employees poster. All employers are required to post the new version by September 16, 2024.
The revised poster includes specific instructions for injured workers on obtaining medical treatment. It now states: “Injured workers may select their medical provider. Medical treatment costs that are reasonable, necessary, and related to the work injury will be paid by the insurer named above.” Additionally, if the insurer listed on the poster has a preferred provider arrangement, the poster provides information on the medical facility for the worker’s initial treatment.
The updated poster is available on our BHHC website in nine languages, including English, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Click here to access the Massachusetts claim kit with the updated posters.
