Obtaining Medical Treatment Under Workers' Compensation
Let Our Sacramento Attorneys Help You Get the Care You Need
When you suffer an injury or illness while performing the functions of your job, you are probably concerned about how you will pay for the cost of expensive medical treatment. Fortunately, workers' compensation in the State of California entitles injured workers to financial compensation to cover the cost of medical care.
The treatment options that may be available to your could range from traditional medical care to less traditional options, such as chiropractic. Our Sacramento workers' compensation lawyers at Smolich and Smolich have more than four decades of experience in helping out clients get medical care following an on-the-job accident and are ready to assist you right away.
Staying within the Medical Provider Network
After your injury or illness, it is important to understand where you go to get the medical care you need. Most of the time employees must go to a healthcare provider that is considered to be part of the employer's or insurance company's medical provider network. By staying within this network, you can ensure that the cost of your medical treatment will be covered under worker's compensation.
Worker's compensation may cover your:
- Doctor's visits
- Prescription medication
- Surgeries
- Medical equipment and devices
Has Your Claim Been Denied?
If you have been hurt on the job there is absolutely no reason that you should have to bear the burden of extremely expensive doctor's visits, hospital stays, tests, surgeries, prescription medication, equipment, and more. Unfortunately, the claims that you make for medical treatment can be denied, and you may not know where to turn to for help. Our Sacramento worker's compensation attorneys know how to effectively help you overturn a denial and obtain the medical care you need to make a recovery.
