Can I receive Workers’ Compensation benefits and state disability at the same time?
No, you may collect one or the other. 7. Can I choose my own doctor?Back to the top Unless you pre-designated your personal physician, your employer is obligated and has the right to send you to a doctor of its choice. As a general rule, the employer/insurance company has the right to medical control for the first 30 days after notice of injury. In some cases, the employer’s medical control could be as much as a year. After 30 days, you may go to a doctor of your choice. 8. What happens after I file a claim form?Back to the top Your employer must fill out and sign the “employer” portion of the claim form and give the completed form to a claims administrator. This person handles claims for your employer and usually works for your employer’s insurance company. Your employer must give you a copy of the completed form within one working day after you filed it. Keep this copy. The claims administrator usually must decide within 90 days whether to accept or deny your claim.
