Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
When an employee is hurt at work It is imperative that they notify the employer as soon as possible. This will prevent delays and problems in receiving workers' compensation benefits.
Workers compensation benefits typically include medical treatment, disability payments and vocational rehabilitation services. The amount and time frame of these benefits differ from state to state.
Medical Treatment
Workers' compensation claims include medical treatment for injuries that are sustained while working. This kind of insurance covers hospitalizations, doctor visits and imaging studies (xrays), in addition to rehabilitation costs.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board creates medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to help promote objective healing and return to work goals. These guidelines are frequently updated in accordance with medical advances and physician recommendations.
These guidelines are designed to ensure that an injured worker receives the same treatment as other employees who suffer similar injuries or illnesses. These guidelines will 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 isn't required under the MTGs, he/she can request an exemption from the insurer by requesting a specific exception to these MTGs. This is a lengthy process that can take a number of months to be completed.
Employers and insurers must make every effort possible to provide the necessary treatment if required. Failure to do so can result in a dispute between the insurer and the injured employee which is usually settled through an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.
The treatment should be administered by a licensed local health provider who is authorized to provide workers' compensation claims treatment. In the event of an emergency it is possible that a non-licensed or uncertified physician might be able to treat worker's injuries provided they are notified about the incident and have completed the proper initial injury report.
Many physicians are certified in workers' comp and will charge a lower amount for treating injured workers. This is especially helpful to patients who have sustained serious injuries.
