Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
Employees who suffer injuries on the worksite should report the injury as soon possible. This helps avoid problems and delays in receiving workers compensation benefits.
Workers compensation benefits typically include medical treatment as well as vocational rehabilitation services and disability benefits. These benefits can differ in duration and amount from one state to the next.
Medical Treatment
Workers' compensation claims include medical treatment for injuries that are sustained while working. This type of insurance covers hospitalization, doctor visits and imaging studies (xrays), in addition to rehabilitation costs.
To encourage objective healing and help achieve return-to-work goals, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board establishes medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are updated regularly with regard to changes in medical field and physician recommendations.
These guidelines are meant 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 given for each injury or illness, and that there are no unnecessary medical costs.
If a doctor determines that medical treatment isn't necessary under the MTGs and he/she may request an exemption from the insurer by requesting a specific exception to these MTGs. This procedure is very complex and can take months to complete.
Employers and insurers should try their best to provide the necessary treatment in the event that it is required. If there is a dispute between the employer and employee, it is possible for the employer or insurer to fail to provide the treatment. This is usually resolved by an evidentiary court before an administrator law judge.
Usually, the treatment should be administered by an authorized health care professional in the area who is licensed to treat claimants for workers' compensation. In emergencies however, a non-licensed, or uncertified doctor might be capable of treating injuries suffered by workers provided they are notified of the accident and completed the required initial injury report.
