If a physician treats an employee for a first aid injury, he or she is required to complete a "Doctor's First Report of Occupational Injury or Illness" (DFR, form 5021) and submit it to the employee's workers' compensation carrier (State Fund) within five calendar days of the initial examination. State Fund will then send a copy of the DFR to the Division of Labor Statistics and Research of the Department of Industrial Relations, as required. State Fund will also determine whether the injury or illness meets the Labor Code definition of first aid. If it is first aid, a copy of the DFR will be sent to the employer, with related bills, upon confirmation that the employer wishes to make payments for the first aid treatment. If no physician is involved in the first aid treatment, a DFR is not required.
