Your Employer and Its Insurance Company Must Obey The Law
Employers must provide for necessary medical treatment through a workers' comp insurance carrier. In some cases, the insurance company denies treatment, and you need a lawyer to be your advocate so you get the care you need.
The medical benefits you are supposed to receive includes any medically necessary:
- Authorized primary doctor and specialist(s).
- Hospital stays and surgeries.
- Doctors' appointments.
- Diagnostic tests (MRIs, x-rays, CT scans, etc.).
- Physical therapy.
- Prescription medicines.
- Prostheses, when necessary.
In addition, you are supposed to receive reimbursement for travel to and from doctors' appointments and the pharmacy.
When you reach maximum medical improvement, you will have to pay a $10 co-pay for each medical appointment.
