Does Workers Comp Cover Treatment?
In some cases, worker's compensation can cover the cost of treatment for PTSD. A person who has suffered a traumatic event at work may be eligible to receive compensation that covers certain medical expenses and lost wages. The amount and type of benefits available will vary by state but, in most cases, residential treatment centers are covered by workers comp. This includes the cost of housing at the center, therapy sessions, and medical visits.
It is important for individuals to secure a case worker and obtain a case number before seeking any type of compensation through workers comp. The caseworker will be able to help guide the individual through the process and provide insight into what types of treatments are eligible for coverage. Additionally, they can help answer any questions the individual may have about workers comp and PTSD treatments.
Overall, obtaining a case worker and case number will ensure that the individual has the best chance of receiving coverage for treatment options related to their mental health condition. It is important for individuals to understand their rights under the state’s worker's compensation laws and to speak with a professional about their options.
Do you have to Utilize your Health Care Benefits if you use Workers Comp?
No, you don't have to use your health care benefits if you are using worker's compensation. If you have an approved case and the facility is receiving payments through workers comp, you will not be responsible for paying any applicable deductibles or out-of-pocket maximums.
