If the Workers’ Compensation insurance company will not authorize your medical treatment and you have group health insurance you may be able to submit your claim through group and get treatment. This is the fastest way to get treatment.
If you do not have group health insurance, then you will have to proceed to trial to have the Arbitrator order the insurance company to pay for your treatment. This approach will take some time because you must have your doctor testify that you need treatment and that it is related to your work injury. In addition, the insurance company will most likely want to send you to their doctor and have you examined so that the doctor can testify against you if the doctor believes the injury is not related to your work accident.
