COVERAGE

Your personal insurance is unlikely to cover work-related injuries. If your claim is denied and you do not have a workers’ compensation claim on file, you may be personally responsible for the cost of treatment. That’s why it’s essential to report any workplace injury to your employer immediately so it can be properly investigated for workers’ compensation coverage.

You must have approval from the Work Comp carrier for the treatment you are seeking.
