Which document must the employer provide to explain access to the MPN and how to access care?

• A. notice explaining access to the MPN on a website
• B. an Implementation notice containing information about the MPN and how to access care
• C. an MPN with list of physicians
• D. an emergency contact number

Answer: (B)

An Implementation Notice is the document employers must provide to explain access to the MPN and how to access care. This notice informs employees that medical treatment for work injuries should be obtained through the MPN, describes where to find and how to access MPN physicians, and lays out the steps for obtaining initial care, referrals, or any required actions within the MPN structure. It ensures clear, formal communication about how to use the MPN and what to do if involvement outside the MPN is needed.

Posting a notice on a website doesn’t guarantee delivery to each employee or meet the formal requirement, an MPN document with just a list of physicians doesn’t explain the access process, and an emergency contact number doesn’t provide the procedural guidance on how to access care through the MPN.
