Many parts of the body (like shoulders, neck, knees, and back) are covered by the Medical Treatment Guidelines (MTGs). If a body part is covered, then there is a certain amount of treatment that an injured worker is allowed. Depending on the situation, an injured worker’s doctor must ask permission to give more treatment than what is allowed by filing one of a group of special forms with the Board. Often doctors fill out the wrong form or fill out the right form incorrectly, leading to a denial of treatment to the unsuspecting injured worker. Under the MTGs, many treatments and many types of surgery are pre-authorized. This means a Workers’ Comp treating doctor can provide the treatment or surgery without the delays inherent in waiting for the carrier or the Board to approve them."For a free consultation to explore your legal options call the attorney at Daniel M.
