Employees who are injured on the work site should report the incident as soon as they can. This will prevent any problems and delays in receiving workers comp benefits.

Medical Treatment
If you're injured on the job, medical treatment is a crucial aspect of your workers claims for compensation. This type of insurance covers doctor visits, hospital stays and imaging studies (xrays) and rehabilitation costs.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board creates medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to promote objective healing and return to work goals. These guidelines are periodically updated in accordance with medical advances and physician recommendations.
These guidelines are designed to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other workers who suffer similar injuries or diseases. They also help ensure that the treatment is appropriate for the particular condition or injury and that there isn't any overtreatment or unnecessary medical costs.
In the event that the doctor decides that treatment outside of the MTGs is necessary, he or she may request a variance with the insurance provider, requesting an exception specifically to the MTGs. The process is lengthy and could take months to complete.
If the treatment is required, the employer or the insurer should take every step to provide the treatment. Failure to do so can result in a conflict between the insurer and the injured employee, which is usually resolved with an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.
The treatment should generally be provided by a licensed local health care professional who is authorized to offer workers' compensation treatment. In emergencies, however, a non-licensed, or uncertified doctor might be able to treat worker's injuries if they have been notified of the accident and completed the appropriate first injury report.
