How Workers' Compensation Works in New York

New York's workers' compensation system provides medical benefits and wage replacement to employees injured on the job, regardless of fault. Whether you were hurt in a construction accident, injured your back lifting heavy objects, developed carpal tunnel from repetitive work, or slipped on a wet floor at your workplace, you are entitled to full medical treatment and a portion of your lost wages.

The process begins with reporting your injury to your employer within 30 days and filing a C-3 Employee Claim form with the NYS Workers' Compensation Board. Your employer's insurance carrier then assigns a claims adjuster who reviews treatment requests. Most procedures beyond initial evaluation require Prior Authorization (PAR) under the NYS Medical Treatment Guidelines (MTG).

At MAIC, our administrative team has extensive experience navigating the WCB system. We prepare and submit Prior Authorization Requests with detailed medical necessity statements citing the specific MTG sections that support each requested procedure. Our PAR approval rate is consistently high because our documentation follows the exact framework the WCB requires.

Common workers' compensation treatments at MAIC include initial medical evaluation and diagnosis, MRI and diagnostic imaging, physical therapy and functional rehabilitation, EMG/nerve conduction studies, epidural steroid injections, orthopedic evaluation and surgical referral, and independent medical examination (IME) preparation.

Your Right to Choose Your Doctor

Under New York law, injured workers have the right to choose their own treating physician. Your employer cannot require you to see a specific doctor, and their insurance company's preferred provider is not mandatory. You can come directly to MAIC for your workers' compensation evaluation and treatment without a referral from your employer or their carrier.
