Workers Compensation Clinical Documentation Workshop for mental health clinicians (16 Jun 2026)

This Program is brought to you by Primex and approved by NHPA for Continuing Education Credit

Description of Event:

Workers' compensation is a state-regulated insurance system providing benefits for job-related injuries and illnesses, guided by specific laws and procedures. The claims process, especially for psychological conditions like depression and PTSD, can be complex and relies heavily on thorough documentation. Providers must balance the need for detailed records to support claims with ethical and legal considerations. The challenge lies in capturing enough detail for a strong claim while respecting privacy and professional boundaries. This program will address the rationale behind documentation requirements for establishing work-related injuries and will deliver actionable guidance on documentation methods, useful vocabulary, and treatment progress.

Learning Objectives:

1) Describe the workers compensation claims process for mental health injury for all employees, but particularly as it relates to the ethical execution of the PTSD presumption law for NH first responders.

2) Balance the ethical demands of patient/client privacy rights with the documentation requirements for effective injury claim processing.

3)Write a thorough, ethically and empirically driven treatment note that addresses all reporting needs to support an injury claim.
