Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim

Workers who are injured on the work site should report the incident as soon as possible. This helps prevent problems and delays in receiving workers comp benefits.

Common workers' compensation benefits include medical treatment, disability payments and vocational rehabilitation services. These benefits may differ in terms of amount and duration from one state to the next.

Medical Treatment

When you are injured on the job medical treatment is a crucial element of your workers' compensation claim. This kind of insurance covers doctor visits, hospital stays and imaging studies (xrays), as well as rehabilitation costs.

To promote objective healing and to meet return-to-work goals, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board has established medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are updated regularly according to changes in the medical field as well as physician recommendations.

These guidelines are intended to ensure that an injured worker receives the same treatment as other workers with similar work-related injuries or illnesses. These guidelines ensure that proper treatment is provided for each illness or injury and that there are no unnecessary medical expenses.

If a physician determines that treatment outside of MTGs is necessary, he or she may request a variance from the insurance carrier, requesting an express exemption from the MTGs. This procedure is very complex and can take months to complete.

If the treatment is required the employer or insurer should make every effort to provide the treatment. In the event of disagreement between the employer and the employee, it is possible that the employer fails to provide the treatment.

The treatment should usually be provided by a licensed local health care provider who is licensed to provide workers' compensation treatment.
