Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
If an employee gets hurt at work it is important to notify the employer as soon as they can. This will help avoid delays and issues when it comes to receiving workers compensation benefits.
Workers compensation benefits typically comprise medical treatment and vocational rehabilitation services and disability benefits. These benefits can differ in the amount and duration of benefits from one state to the next.
Medical Treatment
If you're injured on the job, medical treatment is an important component of your workers claims for compensation. This type of insurance coverage covers doctor visits, hospital stays, imaging studies (x-rays) as well as blood tests, and the cost of rehabilitation services.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board develops medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to encourage objective healing and return to work goals. These guidelines are frequently updated based on medical developments and physician recommendations.
These guidelines are intended to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other workers who suffer from work-related injuries and illnesses. These guidelines ensure that appropriate treatment is provided for any illness or injury and that there are no unnecessary medical expenses.
If a doctor concludes that medical treatment is not necessary under the MTGs, he/she can request an exception from the insurer and request a specific exception to these MTGs. The process is lengthy and may take a long time to complete.
If treatment is required the employer or insurer should take every step to provide this treatment. In the event of disagreement between the employer and the employee, it is possible for the employer or insurer to fail to provide the treatment. This is usually resolved through an evidentiary hearing before an administrator law judge.
The treatment must be provided by licensed local health care professional who is licensed to provide workers' compensation treatment. In emergency circumstances, a licensed but not certified physician may provide the treatment needed for injuries sustained by a worker in the event that they are notified of the accident and the required initial report of injury was completed by the employer or supervisor.
Many physicians are certified in workers' comp and can charge a reduced cost for treating injured employees. This is particularly helpful for patients who've suffered serious injuries.
