The New Hampshire Second Injury Fund Certification by Physician is a program that helps to protect employers by providing financial assistance to help cover the cost of workers' compensation claims resulting from an employee's preexisting disability or impairment. This certification is issued by a licensed physician and is required for an employer to be eligible for benefits under the New Hampshire Second Injury Fund. There are two types of certifications that can be issued: 1. Permanent and Total Disability Certification: This certification is issued when an employee is found to be permanently and totally disabled due to a preexisting impairment or disability. 2. Partial Disability Certification: This certification is issued when an employee is found to be partially disabled due to a preexisting impairment or disability. The certifications must be completed by a licensed physician and must include the employee's medical history, treatment, and diagnosis. The certification must also include a statement whether the employee is permanently and totally disabled or partially disabled due to their preexisting impairment. The New Hampshire Second Injury Fund Certification by Physician is an important tool to help employers protect themselves from financial losses due to workers' compensation claims.
