Workers’ Compensation Billing

Workers’ compensation provides coverage for wage replacement benefits, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation and other benefits to employees who are injured on the job. The legal process of filing claims for treatment of workers’ compensation cases is nothing like filing a claim to a health insurance provider. Requirements for claim filings differ from state to state and require additional research and paperwork. Many healthcare providers initially fail to determine that the patient’s injury or illness is work related, which complicates the process even further.
