About Workers' Compensation
Workers' Compensation insurance covers medical expenses for job-related injuries and illnesses, including orthopedic conditions. Every state requires employers to carry workers' comp coverage. Orthopedic injuries — fractures, sprains, back injuries, and repetitive stress conditions — are among the most common workers' comp claims.
Orthopedic Coverage Overview
Workers' compensation covers all medically necessary orthopedic treatment for work-related injuries, including office visits, imaging, physical therapy, surgery, and rehabilitation. There are no deductibles or copayments for the injured worker. Some states allow employees to choose their own orthopedic surgeon, while others require treatment from an employer-designated provider. Pre-authorization may be required for elective procedures.
