How Workers Compensation Law May Help You

Workers compensation laws can help recover if you've been injured in an accident at work. It's a no fault system that shields employees from lawsuits and limits employers' liability.

Generally, all businesses with employees with the exception of domestic servants and farm laborers are required to carry workers compensation insurance. In the event of a breach, it could result in a fine or even imprisonment.

Medical Care

A successful workers' compensation case will include medical treatment. It will ensure that your injured worker receives the medical care they require, and help you to reduce your expenses in the long run.

New York State has amended its workers compensation laws to provide detailed guidelines for doctors and other health professionals to treat workers who have suffered from work-related injuries. These guidelines, also known as "Medical Treatment Guidelines" or MTGs are designed to establish a common standard for care and improve the medical outcomes for workers.

The MTGs cover a wide range testing, medications, as well as therapy suggestions that doctors have to follow. They cover the most commonly-reported workplace injuries such as shoulder, neck, back, carpel tunnel syndrome, knee and many more.

Contrary to most health insurance plans, workers' comp includes all medical services that are "reasonable and essential" connected to a valid claim. This could include doctor's visits or prescription drugs, surgery and hospitalization as well as urgent care treatments.

However some providers are reluctant to provide treatments that are not covered by the MTGs. Insurance companies typically require that doctors obtain an authorization prior to performing any procedure under the MTGs.

A provider can also request a variance to a specific MTG if he or she believes that the treatment proposed is actually appropriate and needed. The doctor must request this from the insurance company.

Utilization review is a key instrument for controlling medical expenses and preventing wastage. This process can take place in a retrospective manner, concurrently, or prospectively. In the majority of states, utilization review is mandatory for all medical services that are provided under workers' compensation programs and can be performed by the health care system or by third parties such as health maintenance organizations.

One of the biggest challenges in improving workers' compensation medical treatment is to ensure that patients receive the highest quality medical care. This is particularly important since MTGs are not always specific, and injured employees have a limited opportunity to "vote with their feet" in regard to their own medical care.

Certain states are trying to combine the medical coverage provided by group health and comp plans to create the "twenty four-hour" model. Minnesota's Department of Human Services and employers have formed a partnership to develop a program that provides "twenty-four hours" coverage.
