Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
When an employee is hurt while on the job, they need to notify the employer immediately. This will help avoid delays and issues in receiving workers' compensation benefits.
Common workers' compensation benefits include disability and medical treatment and vocational rehabilitation services. The amount and duration of these benefits can vary from state to state.
Medical Treatment
Workers' compensation claims cover medical treatment for injuries that are sustained while working. This kind of insurance covers doctor visits, hospital stays and imaging studies (xrays), in addition to rehabilitation costs.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board creates medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to encourage objective healing and return-to-work objectives. The guidelines are regularly revised in accordance with medical advances and recommendations from doctors.
These guidelines are meant to ensure that an injured worker receives the same treatment as other workers who suffer similar injuries or illnesses. They also help ensure that the treatment is appropriate to the specific injury or illness and ensure that there isn't any overtreatment or unnecessary medical expenses.
If a doctor concludes that medical treatment isn't necessary under the MTGs, he/she can request an exemption from the insurer, asking for a specific exception to these MTGs. This process is complex and may take a long time to complete.
If the treatment is required the employer or insurer should make every effort to provide the treatment. If there is an argument between the employer and employee, it is possible that the employer fails to provide the treatment. The issue can be resolved by an evidentiary hearing before an administrator law judge.
Typically, the treatment should be administered by a licensed health care provider within the region who is licensed to treat workers' compensation claimants. In urgent situations an unlicensed or uncertified physician might be competent to treat injuries sustained by workers when they've been informed of the incident and completed the appropriate first injury report.

Besides workers' compensation, companies can also incur other indirect costs that are related to employee injuries. The cost of a period during which an employee is off working or the cost of hiring a replacement employee can also be included in these indirect costs.
