Those with work-related injuries must use designated medical provider

UND participates in the Workforce Safety and Insurance Risk Management Program. This allows the Risk Management Workers Compensation Program to designate health care providers to treat your workplace injuries and illnesses. If you need to seek medical attention due to a work-related injury, you must see a designated medical provider (DMP).

The UND Designated Medical Provider form lists all UND designated medical provider areas.  Altru Occupational Health was selected by Risk Management because it has an occupational health services department with an occupational health physician as an attending physician. An occupation health physician specializes in work-related injuries/illnesses.

Employees intending to see a medical provider other than the University’s Designated Medical Provider must designate this in writing before utilizing that provider’s services. Questions in this regard should be directed to the Office of Safety at 777.3341.
