Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
Employees who suffer injuries on the work site should report the incident as soon as they can. This will help prevent delays and issues when receiving workers ' compensation benefits.
Workers compensation benefits typically comprise medical treatment along with vocational rehabilitation services and disability payments. The amount and duration of these benefits can vary from state to state.
Medical Treatment
When you are injured while working medical treatment is a vital part of your workers' compensation claim. This type of insurance covers doctor visits, hospital stays and imaging studies (xrays), and rehabilitation costs.
To promote objective healing and achieve return-to-work goals, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board has established medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are frequently updated in accordance with medical advances and physician recommendations.
These guidelines are intended to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other employees who suffer from occupational injuries and diseases. They also help ensure that the treatment is appropriate for the specific condition or injury and that there isn't any unnecessary treatment or unnecessary medical expense.
If a physician determines that medical treatment isn't necessary under the MTGs or other regulations, he/she can ask for an exemption from the insurance company by requesting a specific exception to these MTGs. This is a lengthy procedure that can take a number of months to complete.
If the treatment is required, the employer or the insurer should take every step to provide this treatment. In the event of an argument between the employer and the employee, it is possible for the employer or insurer to fail to provide the treatment. This is usually resolved by an evidentiary hearing before an administrator law judge.
The treatment should generally be provided by a licensed local health professional who is authorized to provide workers' compensation treatment. In urgent situations, a non-licensed or non-certified doctor can provide treatment for injuries suffered by workers in the event that they have been notified of the accident and the proper initial report of injury has been completed by the supervisor or employer.
Many doctors are certified in workers' compensation. They can provide lower rates to treat injured employees. This is especially helpful for patients who have sustained serious injuries.
Alongside doctors and surgeons, many other medical professionals are able to provide treatment for injured employees. These include chiropractors, occupational therapists and physical therapists.
The New York State Workers' Comp Board suggests that injured workers and their representatives talk to their attorneys before they receive any medical treatment. In certain cases this may be the only way to ensure that employees receive the best possible treatment.
