The City of Saint Paul is self-insured for worker's compensation insurance as set forth under the State of Minnesota's Department of Labor and Industry. If you are injured in the course and scope of your employment, as defined by statute, you will receive benefits as defined by state law. Workers' compensation claims are handled by staff from the Risk management division in the City of Saint Paul Office of Human Resources.

All injuries must be reported, however minor in scope, regardless of whether medical attention was received. 

The Injured Employee Must:

  • Complete the Employee's Safety Report within 24 hours of the injury, or before the end of your shift, whichever comes first. This completed form is to be submitted to the employee’s supervisor.

  • Obtain a CorVel managed care ID card from your supervisor if you are seeking medical attention.This card has the billing address where all workers compensation medical bills should be mailed.You may also contact CorVel at 612-436-2500 or 877-703-4241.

  • The preferred clinic for workers compensation injuries is:

    General Reminders:

  • You must seek medical attention and obtain work ability / off work slip for the first day of lost time in order to have any lost time considered for workers compensation payments.

  • All medical documentation needs to be submitted to the Saint Paul Police Department Human Resources Unit, or your claim and/or days off from work may be denied.

  • All tests or procedures must be pre-approved by CorVel at 612-436-2500.

  • If you receive a medical bill sent to your home, do not ignore it – it means that your medical provider has not billed workers compensation – and the bill has not been processed.Bring it to Police Human Resources Unit, or send it to Risk Management or mail it to CorVel immediately.Failure to do so could result in non-payment and have adverse effects on your credit rating

  • If you have any questions concerning a claim, payment, or medical bills related to your injury, contact risk management/worker's compensation, Room 300 City Hall Annex; Call 651-266-6500 or fax 651-266-8886.
