Your Right to Medical Benefits Under Pennsylvania Workers Compensation

Pennsylvania law requires employers and insurers to pay for all medical treatment that is:

• Reasonable
• Necessary
• Related to your work injury

Covered care may include:

• Emergency treatment
• Surgery and hospital care
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Pain management
• Diagnostic testing such as MRI or CT
• Medications
• Assistive devices and home modifications

You do not pay deductibles or co pays.

Do You Have to Treat With the Company Doctor

The ninety day rule only applies if your employer followed every legal requirement. To enforce it, they must:

• Give you a written doctor panel list when hired
• Give you the list again after your injury
• Post the list clearly at the workplace

A valid list must also include:

• At least six providers
• At least three medical doctors
• Providers within reasonable travel distance

If any requirement is missed, you can treat with your own doctor immediately.

Quick rule: if the panel list is incomplete, not posted, or not given to you properly, the ninety day restriction does not apply.

When Insurance Tries to Block Treatment

Insurers often challenge care by claiming it is:

• Not work related
• Not necessary
• Not reasonable
• Too costly or experimental

They may file a Utilization Review or a petition to cut off treatment. We know how to fight these challenges and protect your access to care.
