ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR SPECIFIC INJURIES Additional compensation might be available in cases where the work-related injury leads to scarring or the loss of bodily functions. This is particularly relevant for visible scars on the face, neck, or hands.

This includes travel to any medical provider, pharmacy, or therapy session related to your work injury.

ensuring your continuous care needs are met. INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS
An insurance company may request an Independent Medical Examination (IME) by a doctor of their choosing. This is a standard part of assessing your medical condition and needs. While these examinations are meant to be impartial, communicate all your symptoms and concerns during the
examination to ensure they fully understand your condition. Understanding these key aspects ensures you’re well-prepared to navigate the workers’ compensation system and receive the medical care you’re entitled to. It’s always wise to stay informed and, if necessary, seek professional guidance to work through any complexities that may arise.
