Texas Workmen’s Compensation Medical Benefits?
Most workers, about 81 percent, are covered by a state-regulated Texas workmen’s compensation system, which provides injured workers with standard benefits, including partial income, medical care and payments to beneficiaries.
Accuhealth knows how beneficial it is to all parties involved that you return to work as quickly as possible. Injured employees that continue to work as part of their recovery/treatment plan, in medically appropriate productive work, heal faster, and may retain their job skills. There is no specific end date for reasonable and necessary medical treatment to your work related injury when you are on Workers Compensation in Texas.
What should you do if hurt at work?
- You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days from the date of the injury, or from the date you knew your injury or illness was related to your job. If you do not notify your employer within these 30 days, your right to obtain benefits could be lost.
- You must send a completed Employee’s Claim for Compensation for a Work-Related Injury or Occupational Disease (DWC Form-041) to the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (TDI-DWC) within one (1) year of the date of injury to protect your rights.
