Worker’s Compensation claims require unique handling. Our practice has mastered the paperwork to keep the process on track.
We gather all the correct information from the start so there won’t be any delays in care (ordering MRI’s, surgery if needed…) and returning the patient to work.
New Worker’s Comp rules as of 12/1/10 rely on Medical Treatment Guidelines. Visit the NYS WCB Website for additional info.
What to do:
- If it’s an acute, urgent injury, we’ll handle the process with a phone call: 585-271-4272.
- The patient must complete a WCB C-3 form.
- If they’ve injured the same body part before, or had treatment for this body part before, they must also file a Form C-3.3.
- Employer must complete a WCB C-2 form.
- Send the form to the WCB; keep a copy
How to get medical treatment:
- If your WC insurer has a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), the patient must get initial treatment from those providers. The PPO may also specify a pharmacy or place to get XRs/MRI’s, etc… The WC insurer must tell you about these providers and how to use them.
- Otherwise, they can choose any doctor authorized by the WC Board.
- Our practice is ready to help your employee get better and back to work after an injury on the job.
- For an acute, urgent Orthopaedic Extremity injury, we’ll handle the process with a phone call: 585-271-4272.
- For other Orthopaedic Extremity injuries: Complete our WC Claim Verification Form for patient, incident and company contact info.
- For a minor injury (needs up to 2 doctor’s visits and up to 1 day lost time from work), you may choose to pay for the first aid treatments directly.
