Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
Employees who are injured on the worksite should report the injury as soon as possible. This helps avoid problems and delays in receiving workers compensation benefits.
Workers' compensation benefits typically include medical treatment and vocational rehabilitation services and disability benefits. The amount and duration of these benefits can vary from state to state.
Medical Treatment
When you are injured while working medical treatment is an essential part of your workers' compensation claim. This kind of insurance covers hospitalizations, doctor visits and imaging studies (xrays) as well as rehabilitation costs.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board sets medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to promote objective healing and return-to-work objectives. The guidelines are regularly revised based on medical developments and recommendations from doctors.
These guidelines are designed to ensure that an injured worker receives the same treatment as other workers with similar work-related injuries or illnesses. They also ensure that the treatment is appropriate for the specific condition or injury and that there isn't any overtreatment or unnecessary medical expense.
In the event that a doctor determines that treatment outside of the MTGs is required, he or she may request a variance from the insurance carrier, requesting an exemption to the MTGs. This can be a lengthy process that could take a few months to complete.
If treatment is required, the employer or the insurer should make every effort to provide this treatment. Inability to provide this treatment could lead to a dispute between the insurer and the injured worker, which is often resolved through an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.
The treatment must be administered by a licensed local health provider who is authorized to provide workers' compensation claims treatment. In urgent circumstances, a licensed but non-certified doctor can provide treatments for injuries suffered by workers in the event that they are notified of the incident and the necessary initial report of injury has been filed by the employer or supervisor.
Many doctors are certified in workers' comp and will charge a reduced cost for treating injured employees. This may be particularly helpful to patients who have suffered an injury that is severe.
