Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim

Employees who are injured on the worksite should report the injury as soon possible. This can prevent issues and delays in receiving workers' compensation benefits.

Medical Treatment

When you are injured on the job, medical treatment is an important part of your workers insurance claim. This type of insurance covers doctor visits, hospital stays and imaging studies (xrays), as well as rehabilitation costs.

The New York State Workers' Compensation Board develops medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to promote objective healing and return-to-work objectives. These guidelines are updated regularly according to changes in the medical field and physician recommendations.

These guidelines are intended to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other employees who suffer from work-related injuries and illnesses. These guidelines will ensure that proper treatment is provided for any illness or injury and that there aren't unnecessary medical expenses.

If a physician determines that medical treatment isn't required under the MTGs they can request a variance 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 treatment is required the employer or insurer must make every effort to provide the treatment. In the absence of this, it could lead to a dispute between the insurer and the injured worker, which is usually settled with an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.

Usually, the treatment should be administered by a licensed health care provider within the region who is licensed to treat claimants for workers' compensation. In emergency situations, however, a non-licensed, or uncertified doctor might be competent to treat injuries sustained by workers in the event that they were notified about the incident and have completed the appropriate first injury report.
