Usually, most of the time, yes. This is after eliminating the back strain that was allegedly caused by heavy lifting, but is actually a pulled muscle from a Sunday morning basketball game. Once the claim is accepted, the insurance company will pay for all reasonable medical care related to the injury. The definition of reasonable will vary in different states. The insurance company will likely ask for the following information from a staffing firm:
- It will want paperwork connected with the treatment such an X-rays, MRIs, etc., depending on the nature of the injury. It will also want to know the nature of the symptoms and how much they’ll cost. If there is any doubt that a treatment is isn’t working, it will pull the plug on benefits.
- The insurance company will want to know how quickly the injured worker can get back to work. The quicker they’re back, the speedier the recovery.
- The carrier may also request that an injured worker be examined by a physician chosen by the insurance company. Any report from this examination will be taken into consideration.
Staffing companies should work closely with their employees to meet these obligations, so that only the most effective medical care is being used and paid for to treat the workers’ comp injury. Work Comp Staffing Solutions has many workers’ comp and general insurance solutions to keep your insurance rates as low as possible.

Telemedicine may be coming to a state near year. Several legislators in Washington State have introduced SB 5355 expanding the use of telemedicine to improve access to care for injured workers. Currently, SB 5355 is would require the Department of Labor and Industries to develop access to telemedicine and reimburse providers accordingly. By telemedicine, the authors mean interactive audio and video technology with access to several places including hospitals, rural health centers and homes. Right now it’s just Washington, but states are the laboratories of innovation.
Other states my consider and sign into law similar legislation. More convenient access for injured workers could increase consultations, thus increasing fees for providers. But this is short-term. Decreasing costs in transportation and easier one-on-one access to doctors and nurse practitioners, could actually improve outcomes for injured workers. This means less time off work and quicker claims resolution. Technology is a key to costs for staffing companies.

For employers, the maze of legal marijuana laws, both medical and recreational, has created potential work hazards and workplace risks. The Trump administration’s pronouncements are confusing the matter. During the campaign, he supported states’ rights on the issue, but has talked recently about enforcing federal laws. Marijuana is Schedule 1 drug and illegal at the federal level.
In states where recreational marijuana is legal, employers can’t accurately test. Marijuana stays in the system for weeks. An employee can test positive but not have any impairment. Some states require actual impairment. Trump has yet to come up with a policy, but employers usually prevail in courts because of federal law. Staffing firms need to be well versed in the different state laws. If there is a work injury and a positive drug test, is the injury covered under workers’ comp? Different laws mean different workers’ comp risks. Work Comp Staffing Solutions has many workers’ comp and general insurance solutions to keep your insurance rates as low as possible.

There is no telling how much of an impact a Trump presidency will have, but workers’ comp remains a state driven system and many of the changes taking place are the result of recent economic and medical developments. These include the increasing use of opioids, part time gigs, and the legalization of marijuana in many states.
For example, opioids have been around a long time, but they’re being prescribed more and more frequently to treat pain with the best intentions-to get the worker back to work. But rather than return to work, patients have become addicted to the painkillers greatly extending their time off of work. In many states, this has led to caps for medical treatment where previously there had been none.
As states adapt to changes in medical treatments and work arrangements, staffing firms will need to keep track of changing workers’ comp laws and regulations. Work Comp Staffing Solutions has many workers’ comp and general insurance solutions to keep your insurance rates as low as possible.
