Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
Employees who are injured on the worksite should report the injury as soon as possible. This will avoid delays and issues in receiving workers' compensation benefits.
Workers' compensation benefits typically include medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation services, and disability benefits. The amount and duration of these benefits can vary from state to state.
Medical Treatment
If you're injured on the job, medical treatment is an essential part of your workers insurance claim. This type of insurance covers hospitalizations, doctor visits and imaging studies (xrays), in addition to rehabilitation costs.
To encourage objective healing and achieve goals of returning to work, the New York State Workers' Comp Board establishes medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are reviewed regularly based on changes in the medical field as well as physician recommendations.
These guidelines are meant to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other employees with similar work-related injuries or illnesses. They also help ensure that the treatment is appropriate for the specific injury or illness and that there is no overtreatment or unnecessary medical expense.
If an individual physician decides that treatment outside of MTGs is required and appropriate, they can request a variance with the insurance provider, requesting an express exemption from the MTGs. This process is complex and could take months to complete.
Employers and insurers must make every effort possible to provide the appropriate treatment in the event that it is required. If there is disagreement between the employer and the employee it is possible to fail to provide the treatment. This is usually resolved by an evidentiary hearing before an administrator law judge.
Typically, the treatment must be provided by an authorized health care professional within the region who is authorized to treat workers' compensation claimants. However, in emergency situations, a non-licensed or uncertified physician can render treatments for injuries suffered by workers in the event that they have been informed of the incident and the necessary initial report of injury has been filed by the employer or supervisor.
Many doctors are certified in workers' compensation and will offer lower prices for treating injured employees. This may be particularly helpful for patients who have sustained an injury that is severe.
