Workers Compensation
Workers compensation is a required insurance program that pays for the medical bills and lost wages of employees who are injured and/or disabled from work or who have work-related injuries, occupational diseases, or industrial accidents or illnesses. Even if the injury did not occur while at work, if it is work-related, workers compensation will cover the costs of medical treatment. Not only will workers compensation pay for medical expenses incurred by an individual for a work-related injury, but it may also replace a portion of the worker’s lost wages if the injury or illness caused the individual to lose income. Medical care covered by California Workers Compensation insurance claims include:
- Medical, surgical, and hospital services
- Dental services
- Crutches and other orthopedic devices
- Hearing aids
- Chiropractic treatment
- Physical therapy
- Nursing care
- Prescribed medications
