Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim

When an employee is hurt on the job They must immediately report the injury immediately. This will prevent any problems and delays in receiving workers' compensation benefits.

The typical workers compensation benefits comprise medical treatment, disability payments and vocational rehabilitation services. These benefits may differ in the amount and duration of benefits from one state to the next.

Medical Treatment

If you're injured on the job medical treatment is an important element of your workers insurance claim. This kind of insurance covers hospitalizations, doctor appointments, and imaging studies (xrays), as well as rehabilitation costs.

To promote objective healing and to meet goals of returning to work, the New York State Workers' Comp Board establishes medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are reviewed 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 with occupational injuries and illnesses. These guidelines will ensure that proper treatment is provided for every illness or injury, and that there are no unnecessary medical costs.

If a doctor concludes that medical treatment is not necessary under the MTGs and he/she may request an exemption from the insurance company in order to request an exception to these MTGs. This is a long process that can take several months to be completed.

If the treatment is required the employer or insurer should do everything to provide this treatment. In the event of a dispute 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 court before an administrator law judge.

Typically, the treatment should be administered by a licensed health care provider within the region who is authorized to treat workers' compensation claimants. In emergency situations an unlicensed or uncertified doctor might be qualified to treat injuries to workers when they've been informed of the accident and completed the appropriate first injury report.

A business may incur indirect costs as a result of injuries to employees in addition to workers' compensation. Costs like the time an employee is absent from work or the cost of hiring a replacement employee could also be included in these indirect costs.
