Re: Workers’ Compensation Medical Provider Network: WellComp MPN

California Law requires your employer to provide and pay for medical treatment if you are
injured at work. Your employer is pleased to provide this medical care through a Medical
Provider Network approved by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers’
Compensation. A Medical Provider Network (MPN) is a group of healthcare providers used by
your employer to treat employees injured on the job.
Your employer has chosen the WellComp MPN to provide medical care for work related injuries
and illnesses. The effective date of the MPN is 6/1/09. All treatment for work related injury and
illness on or after the effective date will be under this MPN. However, you may treat with your
personal physician or medical group instead of with an MPN physician if you have properly
notified your employer prior to your injury or illness of the pre-designation of your personal
physician or medical group.
If you have an existing injury, you may be required to change to a provider in the new MPN.
You may contact your claims adjuster for more information on your eligibility for transfer. You
may obtain more information about the MPN from the workers’ compensation poster or from
your employer. You may also access MPN information through your claims administrator York
Risk Services Group, Inc.
You may access the most recent version of the WellComp Medical Provider Network
informational pamphlet, the MPN Employee Handbook, the Transfer of Care Policy, or the
Continuity of Care Policy, from the WellComp website: www.wellcomp.net or by contacting
WellComp Patient Services Department by telephone at 800-544-8150. For additional
information about the MPN, or to alert us about an invalid provider listing, please contact the
WellComp Patient Services Department.

The Holidays Are Coming!!!
Not only does this mean shopping, cooking and baking but it means the Post Office will be
busier than other times of year. We want you to be paid as quickly as possible so we want to
remind you:
• The sooner you mail your timecard, the sooner we can process it. Friday after work
from a post office is your best option.
• Be sure the timecard is filled in completely, accurately and signed by an authorized
client representative; omissions cause delays in your payroll.
• If we get your timecard in payroll Monday we can mail a check Tuesday. If you miss
the first payroll processing and we receive your timecard by Wednesday we can mail a
check Thursday. Usually you don’t have more than a couple of days between our
mailing and delivery but keep in mind that we rely on the post office.
• Be sure we have your correct address, always apprise us of a change and if you live in
a multi-family location you should have your name on the mailbox to be certain the mail
carrier will leave your check!
