Workers' Compensation (CARO)

About the Central Accident Reporting Office (CARO)

The CARO office is devoted to providing timely workers’ compensation benefits to the state employees and agencies it serves.  CARO utilizes a preferred provider network, a medical referral service and case management designed to provide prompt quality medical care in an economical manner.

State agencies may report injuries through CARO’s online computer system.   The system was developed to ensure prompt reporting and to expedite the processing of workers’ compensation benefits.  The online system also enables the state to identify trends and exposures that may create safety concerns.
