The State of Tennessee’s Workers’ Compensation coverage provides benefits to employees who suffer an injury or illness that is specifically and clearly caused while the employee is in the course and scope of their employment.
The Tennessee Department of Treasury, Division of Claims and Risk Management contracts with a third-party administrator (CorVel) for the processing of 工作ers’ compensation claims and managed-care services. CorVel provides a 24/7 nurse triage phone line, pre-certification for inpatient hospital care, bill review, large case management, and other services to appropriately manage the costs of 工作ers’ compensation claims.
For an injury to be compensable under Tennessee Workers’ Compensation law, employees must prove an injury “arising primarily out of, and in the course and scope of, employment.” An investigation by CorVel will be completed to determine if the claim is compensable.
All claim decisions are made by CorVel and/or the TN Division of Claims and Risk Management.
365bet cannot alter or change any of these decisions, rules, or regulations.

The department in which the injured employee(s) is assigned will coordinate with 环境卫生 & 安全, CorVel, and the injured 工作er(s) to design a modified 工作 plan, if applicable.
