There are no deductibles or co-pays. Ward pays all approved medical bills. This includes payment of medical, hospital, and prescription bills. This also includes reimbursement of reasonable mileage and transportation expenses resulting from your medical care. Compensation Benefits Compensation benefits include Temporary Disability benefits and Permanent Disability benefits.
Compensation benefits are non-taxable.
Each benefit is designed to provide you with wage loss assistance, in the event that your doctor releases you from work due to your work-related injury or illness. You may also receive a temporary disability benefit if your doctor places you on restricted duty, due to your work-related injury or illness, and the University does not have temporary transitional work available for you at that time. This waiting period is waived if you are hospitalized as an in-patient, injured in a criminal act of violence, or disabled more than 14 calendar days. Unless otherwise noted below, temporary disability benefits normally continue until one of the following events occurs. Ward will notify you if you are eligible to receive temporary disability benefits.
