How Workers Compensation Law May Help You

New York State has reformed its laws on workers' compensation to provide detailed guidelines doctors and other health care professionals must adhere to when treating employees with work-related injuries. These guidelines, also referred to as "Medical Treatment Guidelines" or MTGs are designed to provide a single set of guidelines for treatment and improve the medical outcomes for workers.
The MTGs provide a variety of tests medicines, and therapy recommendations that doctors have to follow. They cover the most commonly-reported workplace injuries such as shoulder, neck, back carpel tunnel syndrome, knee and more.
Contrary to most health insurance plans, workers' compensation lawsuit compensation will cover all medical expenses that are "reasonable and necessary" connected to a valid claim. This includes doctor visits or prescription drugs, as well as hospitalization.
However some providers are not willing to provide services that aren't covered by the MTGs. Most insurance companies require that doctors obtain pre-authorization before they offer any treatment under the MTGs.
A provider may also ask for an amendment to a particular MTG if he or she believes that the treatment proposed is reasonable and is necessary. This request must be made by the doctor.
