What Treatment is Covered Under an Industrial Insurance Claim?

You got injured at work and the claim has been accepted by the Department of Labor and Industries. So… now what?

Next Steps for Industrial Insurance Claims

You need to go to the doctor, but you are concerned about the co-pays and co-insurance payments. Let us put your mind at ease – if the visit is with your attending physician and your claim is open, you should not have to pay anything for that visit.

The next question is what can my attending physician treat? Simply put, your attending physician can treat all related conditions.

A related condition is one which the Department of Labor and Industries has determined to be caused by your industrial injury. The Department decides which conditions are related by reviewing the medical notes that your attending physician sends them.

All treatment which will improve the related condition, and the accompanying prescriptions, should be paid for by the Department with no cost to you.
