First Aid Options

For minor injuries, employers may choose the "First Aid" option, which allows employers to pay for medical services and treatment rendered for accidents that are not reportable. The employer should advise the claimant and medical providers to send medical bills to the employer for prompt payment to avoid having the claim affect the employer's claims history. If NYSIF inquires about an injury being handled by you as a First Aid case, be sure to advise us.

If an employer chooses the "First Aid" option, but the injury has escalated to a lost time case, or more than two medical treatments rendered, employers must file a C-2 with NYSIF and the WCB immediately.
