How Workers Compensation Law May Help You
Workers compensation laws can help you get back on track if you've been injured in an accident at work. It's a system of no-fault that shields employees from lawsuits and limits the liability of employers.

New York State has reformed its workers' compensation laws to provide detailed guidelines doctors and other health professionals must follow in treating workers who suffer from injuries. These guidelines, also known as "Medical Treatment Guidelines" (MTGs) are created to establish a common standard of care and provide better medical outcomes for employees.
The MTGs provide a variety of testing and medications and therapy recommendations that doctors must adhere to. They cover the most commonly-reported workplace injuries including back, neck, shoulder carpel tunnel syndrome, knee and many more.
Workers' compensation covers all medical services that are "reasonable" and necessary to the payment of a valid claim unlike other health insurance plans. This includes doctor visits as well as prescription drugs, surgical procedures or hospitalization, as well as urgent care treatments.
Many providers are reluctant to offer services that aren't covered by the MTGs. Most insurance companies require doctors have pre-authorization before they provide any service that falls within the MTGs.
A doctor can also request a variance to a specific MTG if he/she believes that the treatment proposed is sensible and essential. This must be requested by the doctor.

One of the biggest hurdles in improving workers' compensation medical treatment is to ensure that patients receive high-quality medical care. This is especially crucial because the MTGs aren't always specific, and injured employees have only a few opportunities to "vote using their feet" in regard to their own care.
This is why some states are seeking to combine the medical benefits that is offered through group health insurance and workers compensation plans to create the "twenty-four-hour" model. In Minnesota, for example, the partnership between employers and the state Department of Human Services is looking to develop a program that will provide "twenty-four-hour" coverage.
