Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim

If an employee gets hurt on the job it is important to report it as soon as possible. This can prevent issues and delays in receiving workers' compensation benefits.

Workers compensation benefits typically include medical treatment along with vocational rehabilitation services and disability payments. These benefits can vary in terms of amount and duration from one state to the next.

Medical Treatment

Workers' compensation claims cover medical treatment for injuries that are sustained while working. This type of insurance provides for hospitalizations, doctor visits imaging studies (x-rays), blood tests, and the cost of rehabilitation treatment.

The New York State Workers' Compensation Board creates medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to aid in the pursuit of objective healing and return to work goals. These guidelines are updated regularly to reflect changes in the medical field and physician recommendations.

These guidelines are intended to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other workers with occupational injuries and illnesses. These guidelines ensure that appropriate treatment is provided for each injury or illness, and that there are no unnecessary medical costs.

In the event that a doctor determines that treatment outside of MTGs is required and appropriate, they can request a variance from the insurance company, asking for a specific exception to the MTGs. This procedure is complicated and may take a long time to complete.

Employers and insurance companies must make every effort possible to provide the appropriate treatment when it is needed.
