Workers’ Compensation ADR Program Assistance

Contact the Office of the Ombudsman

Use this page to contact the Office of the Ombudsman about an existing workers’ compensation ADR Program, claim, ADR case, Program form or request for participant assistance.

The Ombudsman provides information about the applicable ADR process, helps participants identify the appropriate Program procedure or contact, assists communication, reviews questions and concerns impartially, and may help participants explore informal resolution. The Ombudsman does not represent any party and does not provide legal advice.


Is this the right form?

This form is for injured workers, claims administrators, employers, medical providers, attorneys, union or labor-management representatives, and other participants who have a question or concern involving an existing workers’ compensation ADR Program.

Do not use this form for sales messages, vendor solicitations, media requests, employment inquiries, general corporate matters or inquiries about creating a new ADR Program.

Messages outside the Ombudsman’s participant-assistance function may not receive a response through this form.


Send an Ombudsman inquiry

Provide enough information to help the Office of the Ombudsman identify the applicable ADR Program and understand your question or concern. Fields marked with an asterisk are required. Leave optional fields blank when the information is unknown or unavailable.

Important submission notice: Unless the governing Program instructions expressly state otherwise, submitting this form does not file a workers’ compensation claim, appeal, grievance, request for mediation, arbitration demand or other time-sensitive document, and it does not extend any deadline.

Protect sensitive information: Do not include Social Security numbers, financial-account information, full dates of birth, complete medical records or other highly sensitive information.

After you send the form

The Ombudsman will review the information to identify the applicable ADR Program and the appropriate next step. Depending on the inquiry, the Ombudsman may request clarification or communicate with appropriate Program participants.

Important notice: The Office of the Ombudsman is not a law firm and does not provide legal representation. Contacting the Ombudsman does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not itself file a claim, appeal, grievance, arbitration request or other time-sensitive document.
