Injured Workers
If you have been injured in a work-related injury
and your employer is a "subscriber"
to the Texas Workers' Compensation system, then
you have certain rights and obligations.
If you have been injured
in a work-related injury and your employer is
not a "subscriber" to the Texas Workers'
Compensation system, then you will need to establish
with your employer to what extent they will
be covering your medical expenses. You may be
responsible for a portion or all of your medical
care expenses.
Employers
If you are a subscriber to the Texas Workers'
Compensation system, you have certain rights
and obligations. It is important that you understand
these so that you can help your injured employees
get the care they need and minimize days out
of work.
If you are not participating
in the Texas Workers' Compensation system, then
you have no rights or obligations under that
system. If you choose to seek care for your
injured employee, we will look for written confirmation
directly from your company that you are assuming
liability. Otherwise, we will need to collect
payment from the patient at the time of service.
