Workman’s Compensation Insurance Companies in Illinois often do not want to pay for medical treatment, including prescriptions.
Why not?
The Insurance Companies know that small dollar treatment is a pain to fight over. If they deny treatment or prescriptions the only alternative is to pay for it yourself or go to court.
Going to court will often cost you more than the value of the prescriptions.
However, there are some alternatives.
Some private companies have begun to provide mail order prescriptions directly to the injured worker. They seek payment from the Work Comp insurance company and at the end of the case.
This makes life much easier for you, and gets your prescription filled promptly.
