Workers' Compensation Claim and Updated Medical Reports

It is very important to have updated medical reports throughout your workers' comp case. Initially, in order to have a case stablished by the Workers' Compensation Board, you have to produce an initial report of disability and that report has to give a history of the accident, the diagnosis of the accident, and the doctor has to provide an opinion of causal relationship.
For those who are out of work and claiming they cannot work due to their disability, they are seeking to receive regular weekly compensation/monetary benefits. In order to receive those benefits, they must provide ongoing medical reports from their doctor that document their degree of disability and indicate whether or not that person can work and that must be provided on a regular basis - every 90 days.
In an effort to expand the roster of healthcare professionals that can treat in workers' compensation cases, the Workers' Compensation Law now permits other types of healthcare providers to treat and file reports. Nurse practitioners, chiropractors can see someone for spinal injuries only, and physician's assistants are now permitted to treat. Check with Workers' Compensation Board or healthcare provider or our office to determine if they are approved providers in workers' comp cases.
There are two types of awards for permanency awards which are explained in the video in further detail.
Make sure you receive the benefits you are entitled to. FOA can help you!
