What Medical Treatment Are You Entitled To Under The Workers’ Compensation System?

Under New Jersey’s workers’ compensation law, employers are required to cover the cost of all reasonable and necessary medical treatment for a work injury or occupational illness. This may include:

• Emergency medical care
• Surgeries
• Medical procedures
• Hospital stays
• Prescription drugs
• Doctor’s appointments
• Consultations with medical specialists
• Diagnostic services, including laboratory testing and radiology scans
• Physical and occupational therapy
• Mental health services
• Pain management care

Issues In Getting Medical Bills And Treatment Covered By Workers’ Comp

Although employees who suffer a work-related injury or illness should be entitled to have all reasonable and necessary medical treatment covered by their employer or their employer’s workers’ compensation insurer, not all employers or insurers will immediately sign off on all treatment requested by a worker. One of the biggest issues that workers face in getting medical treatment for a work injury or occupational disease is the fact that employers and workers’ comp insurers have the right to choose the medical providers and facilities that their workers must use. This can, whether overtly or subtly, put pressure on providers to focus on getting workers back to their jobs. As a result, providers may declare you fit for work while you are still experiencing symptoms from your injury or illness. Providers may also make treatment decisions based on what they know insurers or claims processors will approve.

Workers can also face problems with getting any treatment for their injury or illness. Employers or insurers may outright deny an employee’s workers’ compensation claim on grounds that the worker does not qualify as an employee entitled to workers’ comp benefits, or that their claimed injury or illness did not arise in the course and scope of a worker’s employment. If a worker tries to use their personal health insurance to get treatment, their health insurer may deny coverage if it determines that the injury or illness is work-related.

These issues make it critical to work with a New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyer from the outset of your claim. An attorney will fight to make sure that your workers’ comp claim is approved and that you get the medical benefits and reimbursement that you need and deserve.
