WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

WORKERS’ COMP

Dr. Giordano and Dr. Nachwalter have 25 years of experience in treating patients with workers’ compensation for spinal injuries. Their expertise and relationships with all of the major insurance carriers put them in a uniquely strong position to cut through the red tape that one can experience with workers’ compensation injuries.

In reality, your medical care should be the same regardless of what type of insurance you are using. No physician should alter his or her recommendations based on your insurance.

What can make these types of injuries difficult are delays in getting an accurate diagnosis? Sometimes mid-level providers and less experienced physicians don’t have the confidence and experience to know how to avoid delays in obtaining the necessary imaging studies and test results required to make an accurate diagnosis. Some physicians may mean well, but they just don’t have the skillset and knowledge base to provide an accurate diagnosis and chart the best course of treatment. Confusion between a strain, a bulge, a protrusion, or a herniation can exist with a less experienced or less formally trained physician. This confusion can lead to unnecessary treatment delays and unnecessary procedures.

Q & A

What is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

Your workers’ compensation insurance pays your medical bills for doctor visits, therapy, prescriptions, diagnostic tests and procedures. The doctors don’t work for the insurance company, they are in private practice. They work for the patients. It is no different than treatment under traditional medical insurance. Watch out for physicians who say, “I can only treat one injury at a time,” or “It’s not me it’s the insurance company.”

What should I do if I get hurt at work?

The first and most important thing you must do is notify your employer. Make sure the injury and event are documented. Second, if your injury requires urgent or emergent evaluation and treatment, you should be referred to a physician, urgent care center, or an emergency room. Lastly, you should follow-up with a specialist who can care for your specific injury. Choosing the right doctor is important. Doctors with experience like Carl P. Giordano, MD and Richard S. Nachwalter, MD will document appropriately, get approvals, and navigate workers’ compensation with ease.
