MPENSATION AND MEDICAL BENEFITS

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. REIMBURSEMENT FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES Getting to and from medical appointments can be a burden, so workers’ compensation also reimburses travel expenses. This includes travel to any medical provider, pharmacy, or therapy session related to your work injury. CONTINUOUS TREATMENT AND UTILIZATION REVIEW For ongoing treatments like surgeries or long-term therapy, the insurance company might review them to ensure they are necessary. If they disagree about the necessity of a treatment, you can challenge this through an appeals process,

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.
