How Workers Compensation Law May Help You
If you've been injured in an accident at work, workers' compensation laws can help you recover. It's a system of no-fault that shields employees from lawsuits and limits the liability of employers.
Generally, all companies with employees except for domestic servants and farm laborers, are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. In the event of a breach, it could result in fines or even jail time.
Medical Care
A successful workers' comp claim will also include medical care. It will ensure that your injured worker receives the treatment they require, and help you to reduce your expenses in the long run.
New York State has reformed its workers' compensation laws to establish detailed guidelines that doctors and other health professionals must adhere to when treating employees with work-related injuries. These guidelines, also known as "Medical Treatment Guidelines" (MTGs), are designed to establish a uniform set of standards of care and to provide better medical outcomes for employees.
The MTGs cover a wide range testing medicines, as well as therapy recommendations that doctors must follow. They cover the majority of work-related injuries, including the back, neck, shoulder and knee and carpel tunnel syndrome.
Workers' compensation covers all medical services that are "reasonable" and necessary for the payment of a valid claim, unlike other health insurance plans. This includes doctor visits as well as prescription drugs and hospitalization.
However there are many providers who are unwilling to provide services that aren't covered by the MTGs. Most insurance companies require that doctors get pre-authorization prior to being able to perform any procedure under the MTGs.
A doctor can also request an exception to a specific MTG when he or she believes that the treatment is actually reasonable and is necessary. The doctor must formally request this from the insurance company.
Utilization review is an essential instrument for controlling medical expenses and preventing wastage. It can happen simultaneously, retrospectively, or prospectively.

It is essential that victims of workers' comp receive top-quality medical care. This is one of the biggest obstacles in improving the quality of medical treatment for workers' compensation. This is crucial because the MTGs can be confusing, and injured workers may not be able to "vote by a vote of the people" regarding their care.
This is the reason that certain states are attempting to combine the medical coverage provided through group health and workers compensation plans into the "twenty-four-hour" model. In Minnesota, for example, an alliance between employers and the state Department of Human Services is looking to develop a program that provides "twenty-four-hour" coverage.
