Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim

Employees who suffer injuries on the worksite should report the injury as soon possible. This helps avoid problems and delays in receiving workers' compensation benefits.

Workers' compensation benefits typically consist of medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation services, and disability benefits. The benefits offered can differ in the amount and duration of benefits from one state to the next.

Medical Treatment

When you are injured while working, medical treatment is an essential component of your workers compensation claim. This type of insurance covers hospitalization, doctor visits and imaging studies (xrays), in addition to rehabilitation costs.

To encourage objective healing and help achieve goals of returning to work, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board develops medical treatment guidelines (MTGs). These guidelines are frequently updated according to medical advances and recommendations from doctors.

These guidelines are designed to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other workers who suffer from work-related injuries and illnesses. These guidelines will ensure that appropriate treatment is given for each illness or injury and that there are no unnecessary medical costs.

If a doctor concludes that medical treatment isn't required under the MTGs they can request a variance from the insurer by requesting a specific exception to these MTGs. This can be a lengthy process that can take several months to complete.

Employers and insurers must make every effort possible to provide the appropriate treatment if it is required. Failure to do so can result in a dispute between the insurer and the injured employee, which is usually settled with an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.

Usually, the treatment should be administered by a licensed health care provider in the area that is authorized to treat workers' compensation claimants. In urgent situations, a non-licensed or non-certified doctor can provide treatment for injuries suffered by workers in the event that they are informed of the accident and an appropriate first report of injury was completed by the employer or supervisor.

Apart from workers' compensation an organization may also have other indirect costs that are related to injuries to employees. These indirect costs could include expenses like the duration of time employees are away from work or the cost of hiring an employee who is a substitute.
