Medical Benefits Under North Carolina’s Workers’ Comp Laws
North Carolina's workers' compensation law provides various medical treatment benefits to injured workers to ensure they receive necessary care and support during their recovery process. These benefits encompass a range of medical services and treatments aimed at helping injured employees return to health and work as soon as possible. At Olsinski Law, our experienced attorneys are well-versed in North Carolina's workers' compensation laws and are dedicated to advocating for our clients to ensure they receive the medical treatment benefits they are entitled to.
Doctor's Visits
Injured workers are entitled to receive medical treatment from authorized healthcare providers. This includes visits to doctors, specialists, surgeons, and other medical professionals necessary to diagnose and treat their injuries.
Hospitalization
If an injury requires hospitalization, workers' compensation covers the cost of necessary medical care and treatment received during the hospital stay, including surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation services.
Prescription Medications
Injured workers may receive coverage for prescription medications prescribed by their authorized healthcare providers to manage pain, treat injuries, or prevent complications.
Physical Therapy
Workers' compensation may cover the cost of physical therapy sessions to restore function, mobility, and strength to injured body parts through exercises, stretches, and other therapeutic interventions.
Diagnostic Tests
Necessary diagnostic tests such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and blood work ordered by authorized healthcare providers to diagnose and monitor injuries are typically covered under workers' compensation.
Medical Supplies and Equipment
Workers' compensation may provide coverage for medical supplies and equipment such as braces, crutches, wheelchairs, and prosthetics necessary to treat and rehabilitate injuries.
Transportation Expenses
Injured workers may be reimbursed for reasonable transportation expenses for obtaining medical treatment, including mileage to and from medical appointments.
Vocational Rehabilitation
In cases where an injury prevents an employee from returning to their previous job, workers' compensation may cover the cost of vocational rehabilitation services to help them acquire new job skills or find suitable employment.
At Olsinski Law, we understand the importance of timely and comprehensive medical treatment for injured workers.
