Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
When an employee is hurt while on the job it is important to immediately report the injury immediately. This will help avoid delays and issues when receiving workers compensation benefits.
Workers compensation benefits typically comprise medical treatment as well as vocational rehabilitation services and disability benefits. The amount and duration of these benefits can vary from state to state.
Medical Treatment
Workers' compensation claims cover medical treatment for injuries sustained on the job. This type of insurance coverage covers doctor visits, hospital stays, imaging studies (x-rays) and blood tests and the cost of rehabilitation therapies.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board develops medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to help promote objective healing and return-to-work goals. These guidelines are regularly updated according to medical advances and recommendations from doctors.
These guidelines are designed to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other workers who suffer similar injuries or illnesses. These guidelines ensure that appropriate treatment is provided for each injury or illness, and that there are no unnecessary medical costs.
If a doctor decides that medical treatment is not necessary under the MTGs they can request an exception from the insurer in order to request an exception to these MTGs. This process is complex and may take a long time to complete.
If the treatment is needed, the employer or the insurer should make every effort to provide the treatment. Failure to do so can cause a dispute between the insurer and the injured worker, which is often resolved through an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.
The treatment should be provided by an accredited local health professional who is licensed to offer workers' compensation treatment. In emergency situations however, a non-licensed or uncertified physician may be able to treat worker's injuries provided they are notified of the incident and completed the required initial injury report.
Many doctors are certified in workers' comp and charge a lower amount for treating injured workers. This may be particularly helpful for those who have suffered serious injuries.

Apart from workers' compensation a company can also incur additional indirect costs related to injuries to employees. These indirect costs can comprise costs like the time an employee is absent from work or the cost of hiring a substitute worker.
Another indirect cost is the cost of repair or replacement of equipment or property that was damaged during an injury-causing incident. This can be a significant expense to any company, and it is common for companies with heavy-duty machinery or equipment.
