Workers who are injured on the job should report the injury as soon as possible. This can prevent issues and delays in receiving workers' comp benefits.

Medical Treatment
Workers' compensation benefits include medical treatment for injuries that are sustained while working. This type of insurance will cover medical visits, hospital stays imaging studies (x-rays) and blood tests and the cost of rehabilitation treatment.
The New York State Workers' Compensation Board develops medical treatment guidelines (MTGs) to promote objective healing and return to work goals. The guidelines are regularly revised in accordance with medical advances and doctor's recommendations.
These guidelines are intended to ensure that injured workers receive the same treatment as other employees with work-related injuries and diseases. These guidelines guarantee that proper treatment is provided for each injury or illness, and that there are no unnecessary medical costs.
If a doctor concludes that medical treatment is not necessary under the MTGs, he/she can request a variance from the insurer in order to request an exception to these MTGs. This procedure is complicated and could take months to complete.
If the treatment is required, the employer or the insurer should take every step to provide the treatment. Inability to provide this treatment could result in a conflict between the insurer and the injured worker, which is usually resolved with an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.
The treatment should be provided by an authorized local health care professional who is licensed to offer workers' compensation treatment. However, in urgent situations, an unlicensed or uncertified physician can render treatment for injuries suffered by workers, as long as they have been notified of the accident and the proper initial report of injury was completed by the supervisor or employer.
