Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
If an employee gets hurt while on the job It is imperative that they report it as soon as possible. This will help prevent delays and issues in receiving workers' compensation benefits.
Workers' compensation benefits typically include medical treatment and vocational rehabilitation services and disability benefits. The amount and duration of these benefits varies from state to state.
Medical Treatment
If you're injured while working, medical treatment is a crucial aspect of your workers claims for compensation. This kind of insurance covers hospitalization, doctor visits and imaging studies (xrays), as well as rehabilitation costs.
To encourage objective healing and help achieve the goal of returning to work, New York State Workers' Comp Board sets medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are periodically updated as a result of medical advances and physician recommendations.
These guidelines are designed to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other employees with occupational injuries and illnesses. They also ensure that the treatment is appropriate for the particular condition or injury and that there is no overtreatment or unnecessary medical expense.
In the event that the doctor decides that treatment outside of MTGs is required the doctor can request a variance from an insurance company, requesting an express exemption from the MTGs. This can be a lengthy process that could take a few months to complete.
Employers and insurance companies must try their best to provide the necessary treatment if it is required. If there is an argument between the employer and employee, it could be possible to not be able to provide the treatment. This can often be resolved through an evidentiary hearing before an administrator law judge.
The treatment should usually be administered by an authorized local health care provider who is authorized to provide workers' compensation claims treatment. In emergencies however, a non-licensed or uncertified physician might be able to treat worker's injuries when they've been informed of the accident and completed the necessary initial injury report.
Many doctors are certified in workers' compensation. They can provide lower rates to treat injured employees. This can be especially beneficial for patients who have suffered an injury that is severe.
