- IC45 First Report of Injury (FROI). Section 6(b) of the Workers’ Compensation Act requires that you (or insurers acting on your behalf) send reports to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission on all accidents involving more than three lost work days. As soon as you have been notified of a work-related injury or occupational disease, please fill out this form and submit it to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission and EMPLOYERS. This form must be completed within five days from notice of an accident. Fatalities must be reported within two days of the death. The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission also accepts the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) first report of injury form: IA-1 IAIABC W.C. First Report of Injury.
- IC85 Employers Supplementary of Injury (FROI). This is a supplemental form that you need to complete and submit to the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (along with form IC45) when workers’ compensation benefits begin or are stopped, there is a change in your employee’s status and/or final compensation is made. The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission also accepts the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) first report of injury form: IA-2 IAIABC W.C.

- First Fill Form. This form provides your employees with basic information about our Pharmacy Benefit Program, including such things as the phone number to call to locate a First Fill participating pharmacy. When your employee becomes injured, please print and complete this form and provide it to your injured employee. Your employee will need to provide this completed form along with the prescription for his/her work-related injury or occupational disease to the pharmacist. Using this form will help enable quick authorization for your employee’s initial medication and ensure that the initial prescription is provided at no cost to the injured employee.
