Workers Compensation - How to File a Workers Compensation Claim
Workers who are injured on the job should report the injury as soon as they can. This helps avoid problems and delays in receiving workers' compensation benefits.
Workers compensation benefits typically comprise medical treatment along with vocational rehabilitation services and disability benefits. These benefits can vary in amount and duration from one state to the next.
Medical Treatment
Workers' compensation benefits include medical treatment for injuries that are sustained while working. This type of insurance will cover doctor visits, hospital stays imaging studies (x-rays), blood tests and the cost of rehabilitation therapies.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board creates medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to help promote objective healing and return-to-work objectives. These guidelines are regularly updated 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 with similar work-related injuries or illnesses. These guidelines will ensure that appropriate treatment is provided for each illness or injury and that there aren't unnecessary medical expenses.
In the event that an individual physician decides that treatment outside of MTGs is necessary, he or she may request a variance with the insurance company, requesting an exemption to the MTGs. The process is lengthy and may take a long time to complete.
If treatment is required the employer or insurer should make every effort to provide this treatment. In the event of an argument between the employer and the employee it is possible for the employer or insurer to fail to provide the treatment. This is usually resolved by an evidentiary court before an administrator law judge.
Typically, the treatment should be administered by an authorized health care professional in the area who is authorized to treat claimants for workers' compensation. In emergency circumstances, a non-licensed or uncertified doctor may be able to provide treatments for injuries suffered by workers, as long as they are notified of the accident and an appropriate first report of injury has been filed by the supervisor or employer.

Charges
The costs of a workers compensation claim can vary greatly dependent on the individual worker and the state in which they work. These expenses include medical costs and vocational rehabilitation costs, legal costs, and settlement costs.

Besides workers' compensation, a company can also incur other indirect costs related to injuries suffered by employees. Costs like the duration of time employees are off working or the cost of hiring a replacement worker are also included in these indirect costs.
Another indirect cost is the cost of repairing or replacing equipment or property that was damaged by an accident. This is an expense that is significant to any business, but it is especially common for companies that have heavy-duty machinery or equipment.
Finally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) fines that are associated with a high incident rate can be an additional cost for the employer. These fines are typically caused by inspections or other regulatory actions based on the company's fatality or worker injury rates.
