When you are injured at work, it is important you get medical care as soon as possible. Getting medical attention early will establish clear documentation of your injury, which may be important for your claim.
The workers’ compensation claims process can be confusing and the answers from employers and insurance companies are not always clear. The attorneys at Loney & Schueller, LLC, in West Des Moines, can guide you through this process. They have more than 50 years of combined experience helping injured workers maximize compensation for work injuries.
In Iowa, injured workers must be treated by a medical provider chosen by their employer. Once you report your injury to your employer, your employer will give you the name of an authorized medical provider. The medical provider will provide treatment to you while you are unable to work. If you do not go to an authorized medical provider, your medical expenses may not be covered.
While you are recovering from your injury, you should keep records of your medical appointments, mileage and any expenses incurred for food and lodgings. Make sure your authorized medical provider is billing the workers’ compensation insurer and not your personal insurance company.
