Understanding Workers compensation medical benefits

Workers are injured on the job every day. Under the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), you are entitled to a safe workplace. If injured, you are entitled to medical compensation and benefits under Florida State law. The delivery of medical care is the primary focus of the Florida Workers compensation program, regardless of who was at fault. Your employer is responsible for Workers compensation medical benefits, including the following:

Necessary medical care, including hospitalization, surgery, supplies, prescriptions, doctor and specialist visits, diagnostic and other medical tests, and prosthesis
Mileage reimbursement for traveling to doctor appointments
Specialized equipment, such as a wheelchair or other necessary medical devices

Because your employer or their insurer is paying for your medical care, your treatment must be arranged through a health care provider authorized through your employer. Choosing care by your own physician or another doctor not authorized by the insurer can result in loss of payment for medical benefits.
