About COVID-19 and Claim Reporting
Coronaviruses can cause the common cold or more severe diseases. A new coronavirus first appeared in late 2019. It causes a respiratory illness now called COVID-19, which stands for coronavirus disease 2019. You should always get more specific from your state and local governments, as well as the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
Know How to Report a COVID-19 Claim
If you have an employee who tested positive for COVID and:
- Has been working at their workplace or employer directed worksite
- Believes they contracted COVID at work
- Tests Positive (Qualifying tests):
- PCR
- Rapid test (FDA approved home Antigen tests – per OSHA standards. Not Antibody tests.)
You will be required to Report a Claim.
Note: Acceptance or denial of each claim will be determined based upon the facts and current law of your state.
