Workmen Compensation and You
- posted: Mar. 14, 2022
If you are injured or become sick while working you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. Workers' compensation can cover medical expenses incurred by a work-related injury or illness, as well as provide coverage for lost wages. While a pain management doctor can help provide you with comprehensive care and treatment while on workers’ compensation here’s what you should know about your eligibility.
Why You Should Seek Medical Care for Work Injuries
Even if your work-related injury is minor you should still seek treatment. Why? Seeking treatment from an expert pain doctor soon after an injury can prevent more serious problems from occurring and can speed up your recovery process. Plus, seeking prompt medical care after a work-related injury gives your employer less of an opportunity to deny that your injury or illness was a result of a work-related matter.
When to Seek Care
If you are dealing with a medical emergency it’s important that you call 911 or seek care from your closest emergency room which can provide you with the prompt medical attention you need; however, if you are dealing with non-life-threatening injuries, a pain management doctor could be the ideal doctor to turn to. When choosing the right pain doctor to treat your work-related injuries, it’s important to find one that fully understands your workers’ compensation case and can provide accurate and important information and reports that can support your case for disability, medical and treatment expenses, and wage coverage.
Paying for Medical Care
It’s important that you file a workers’ compensation claim as soon as the injury occurs to ensure that your medical expenses are covered and that you can get the immediate care you need. Once the claim is submitted, your employer is responsible for covering your medical bills until the claim is approved or denied. Your employer will continue to pay for all medical bills if your claim is approved but if you’ve been denied you can appeal to get the decision overturned; however, many doctors will work with you to help you pay your medical expenses to help ensure a full recovery.
If you have questions about worker’s compensation or about treatment options and solutions that could help speed up your recovery time due to a work-related injury, a pain management specialist can provide you with the information and care you’re looking for.
