Injured Worker Medical Benefits
The Workers’ Compensation system was designed to ensure that employers provide insurance to financially assist employees who become injured or disabled on the job.
An employee injured on the job or at the workplace is entitled to receive 100% of necessary and reasonable medical expenses incurred as a result of a job-related injury including
emergency room services
hospital care
physician's fees and prescriptions.
The treatment must be prescribed by the authorized treating physician who is chosen by the employee from a panel of physicians. Employees are permitted to change their authorized physicians once. Employees are also entitled to an independent medical examination.
In exchange for the compensation, the injured employee agrees not to sue the employer.
Although required by law, many employers do not maintain and post a panel of physicians. Some maintain a panel but do not post it. Sometimes the panel does not meet the requirements set by the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation. The employees can receive treatment from a doctor of their choice if the employer fails to comply with the law.
