Workers compensation is a legal remedy whereby an employee who is injured on the job may be entitled to certain benefits. The benefits can include medical care for the injury, indemnity wage benefits, vocational rehabilitation services, and/or death benefits. These benefits are the obligation of the employer and are paid directly to the employee by the employer or its workers compensation insurer.
A basic element of workers compensation insurance is medical coverage. This coverage applies to all medical costs. It includes fees charged for doctor visits, hospital care, nursing care, medications, medical diagnostic tests, physical therapy, and durable medical equipment (like crutches and wheel chairs).
