Mission Statement

The mission of the Workers’ Compensation Program is to determine coverage and provide benefits for work related injuries sustained by employees of the Navajo Nation and its insured enterprises. We are devoted to establish efficient claim services through medical providers to assist the injured worker in obtaining the best medical care possible for prompt return to work.

We will provide adequate education to eligible employees and employers throughout the Navajo Nation, in filing a claim and types of benefits offered. Every employees will be given an opportunity to file a claim and the right to appeal a decision made by the program which might affect their claim.

We will strive to develop self confidence among injured employees, treat them with respect, and encourage them in reaching maximum medical improvement. Our continued success is dependent upon ensuring immediate delivery of benefits, fairness in claims practice, and responsible medical management.
