PA Work Comp For Medical Bills
Injured workers in Pennsylvania can receive work comp payments for medical services needed for a work-related injury.
Examples of bills that are paid due to a work-related injury:
- doctor visits
- surgery costs
- medications
- medical supplies
- orthopedic devises
You don't have to miss any work to receive Pennsylvania work comp medical payments. In addition, any health care costs for your injury, including medications, are paid.
Some employers have a list of "company doctors." If a list of doctors is posted at your workplace, you must use one of these doctors for the first 90 days of medical care. Using a "company doctor" will make sure that all of your medical expenses are paid under Pennsylvania work comp. After the first 90 days, you can go to your own doctor.
Important note: At some point, you might be offered a one-time payment (or lump sum payment) that would cover any and all future medical bills. This might not be a good idea, depending on your situation as an injured worker.
If you are offered a lump sum payment for medical bills, our law firm encourages you to talk with PA work comp lawyer before taking the payment.
