Assuming that you are an employer, you should contact your worker's compensation carrier to report the claim. They will handle the process and guide you from there. They have all the forms that are needed. Under PA law, they have 21 days from the date of injury to investigate the claim and accept or deny it. They will provide your employee with the claim number and contact nformation to give to the doctor.

This answer to your legal inquiry is based upon the limited facts stated in your question. Accurate legal advice is based upon an exchange between a lawyer and a client. The lawyer can then ask about other facts that may change or confirm the answer. Without that exchange, this reply should be considered limited in value. You should rely on this answer only at your own risk. Direct consultation with a lawyer is always recommended. Answering your question does not create an attorney-client relationship.
