- Protect the 5% of Texas employees that have no injury benefits coverage. 95% of all Texas employees are eligible for benefits under either traditional workers’ compensation or an injury benefit program. But some employers are still not taking care of their employees. On-the-job injuries are a natural cost of labor, so medical coverage, wage replacement, and other injury benefits should be provided by employers, at no cost, to all employees.
- Good Guys vs. Bad Actors. QCARE raises the bar and distinguishes the “bad actors” from the more responsible companies – the “good guys” who provide quality injury benefits for their employees. All Texas employers should meet the QCARE standards or provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage.
- Simple Injury Outcomes. We all understand that healthcare is too complex and expensive, particularly when someone gets hurt at work. Texas injury benefit programs have a 30-year track of simply working well for injured Texas employees, their families and employers. See these Articles & Reports. QCARE reflects the simplicity that both employers and injured workers deserve, while raising the bar and clarifying what Texas employers should do if they don’t buy workers’ compensation insurance.
