As a worker injured on the job in Pennsylvania, you are entitled to workers' compensation medical benefits for that injury or for an occupational disease. The law requires that your employer pay all reasonable and necessary medical treatment needed as the result of your work-related injury or disease.
Sounds simple, right? In reality, the process is not as simple as it sounds.
Your employer can refuse to pay any medical bill, and employers often do when they have filed a utilization review. When that happens, your case will go to a Utilization Review organization. The Utilization Review organization then makes a decision. If you or your employer disagrees with that decision, your case then goes before a workers' compensation judge.
Other times, some employers simply don't pay the bills even though the law says that they're supposed to pay.
All the while, the clock keeps ticking, you have problems getting the treatment you need, and your stress keeps mounting.
