Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim

If an employee gets hurt at work, they need to report it as soon as they can. This will avoid delays and issues when it comes to receiving workers compensation benefits.

Medical Treatment

Workers' compensation benefits include medical treatment for injuries sustained on the job. This kind of insurance covers hospitalizations, doctor visits and imaging studies (xrays), in addition to rehabilitation costs.

To promote objective healing and to meet the goal of returning to work, New York State Workers' Comp Board develops medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are frequently updated according to medical advances and physician recommendations.

These guidelines are intended to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other employees with work-related injuries and diseases. These guidelines ensure that appropriate treatment is provided to every illness or injury, and that there aren't unnecessary medical expenses.

In the event that a doctor determines that treatment outside of MTGs is necessary then he or she can request a variance with the insurance carrier, requesting a specific exception to the MTGs. This can be a lengthy process which can take several months to complete.

Employers and insurance companies must strive to provide the proper treatment when it is needed. Inability to provide this treatment could result in a conflict between the insurer and the injured employee, which is usually settled through an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.

Typically, the treatment should be provided by an accredited health care provider in the area who is licensed to treat claimants for workers' compensation. In urgent circumstances, a licensed but not certified physician may provide treatment for injuries suffered by workers in the event that they are notified of the accident and that the appropriate first report of injury has been submitted by the supervisor or employer.

Workers Compensation insurance is vital but it can be expensive. In general, it costs businesses about $1 per hour of work lost due to workers' compensation claims.

These losses can be reflected in the bottom line of the business and could lead to an increase in productivity and profitability. It can also impact the reputation of the business which could impact future business contracts and qualified employees.

A company can incur indirect costs as a result of injuries sustained by employees as well as workers compensation. These indirect costs may include expenses like the duration of time an employee is absent from work, as well as the cost of hiring workers who can be substituted.
