In Minnesota you have the right to see a doctor that you choose for your medical treatment. Some employers participate in what is referred to as a workers’ compensation certified managed care plan. If your employer participates in one of these plans you may need to receive treatment with a doctor or clinic that is part of the plan’s network. The Minnesota Department of Labor maintains a list of the certified plans in the state.
What happens if my medical treatment is cut off?
Your worker’s compensation insurance company has the right to schedule you for an Independent Medical Examination (IME) with a doctor that the company chooses. If this company doctor decides that you do not need any more treatment the insurance company will stop paying for any more medical treatment. If you have been cut off from medical benefits and continue to need treatment we can work with your insurance company to prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you or appealing the decision.
Tips For Medical Benefits & Out-of-Pocket Reimbursements
- Keep any receipts for out-of-pocket expenses like prescriptions
- Keep track of mileage to medical appointments
- Make sure your doctors know the workers compensation insurance company where they are to send the bills and that they send the bills and supporting documentation to the insurer
- Keep your job informed of your medical treatment and work restrictions
- Make sure every doctor or therapist you see knows that you had a work accident and specifically how it occurred so it gets documented in your medical chart
