Intercare is our claims administrator for the SDRMA Workers’ Compensation Program. Intercare has been a third-party administrator in California since 1994. Intercare assumed the handling of all existing claims previously managed by Sedgwick. SDRMA does not anticipate any disruption to the workers’ compensation benefits during this transition period. Employees currently receiving time off benefits will receive advanced payments from Sedgwick to ensure that employees have no interruption in benefits during this transition. New claims should be reported via Company Nurse 24/7/365 toll free injury hotline at 877.518.6711. 

The district's insurance provider, Special District Risk Management Authority (SDRMA), has retained Company Nurse to provide a telephone-based nurse triage program for workers' compensation members and Intercare to administer workers' compensation claims. Intercare ensures that injured employees receive all applicable benefits in accordance with California Labor Code regulations. The CCSD provides all reasonable and necessary medical treatment to injured employees due to a work-related injury or illness. In the event of a work-related injury/illness, employees should immediately report an injury to his/her supervisor and complete the required forms. The injured employee is responsible for providing Haley Dodson with an updated Employee Status Report after each medical appointment.
