Workers Compensation Q & A

 

Why do I need a doctor experienced in workers’ compensation?

The initial evaluation of your injury by a qualified physician is an important factor in your workers’ compensation case. At Urgent Care and TeleHealth, the board certified physicians are knowledgeable about the workers’ compensation process.

The medical team will ensure you receive prompt treatment for your injury. They use on-site laboratory testing and X-rays to confirm an accurate diagnosis and create a treatment plan specific to your needs.

This high level of care is necessary for your workers’ compensation claim and is the first step in recovering from your injuries.

What happens during a workers’ compensation evaluation?

The physicians and medical team evaluate the severity of your injury to determine the best course of treatment. If your injury needs advanced medical treatment, they refer you to a specialist for further treatment.

During your initial consultation, the doctors and medical team determines if you need to take time off from work to recover or need to follow certain work restrictions. If you aren’t able to work due to your injury, the medical team can decide on the right timeline for you to return to your job without causing additional injury.

What can I expect in follow-up care of a work-related injury?

Even if you see a specialist for your on-the-job injury,  Urgent Care and TeleHealth physicians can perform a follow-up assessment of your health for your workers’ compensation claim. They can determine when you have reached maximum medical improvement and help in deciding your level of disability, if any exists.

Urgent Care and TeleHealth physicians also maintain highly detailed medical records that you might need as evidence in your workers’ compensation case. These records document your initial injury, the overall treatment plan, and the professional medical opinion of your ability to return to your work duties.

If you’re injured in a workplace accident, contact the Urgent Care and TeleHealth office nearest you to learn more about treating workers’ compensation injuries. You can also use the convenient online booking feature to schedule your appointment.

Dr Ahwah was very good! He listened to me and checked me thoroughly. I highly recommend him. I’m not sure though if he has other regular office other than Urgent Care, otherwise, I will have him as my PCP.

Very quick! I showed up as a walk-in patient right when the Clinic opened. Spent maybe 15 minutes filling paperwork and dealing with insurance. Saw the doctor almost immediately, took him 5 seconds to determine my ailment, sent me off with 3 prescriptions. A couple days later I’m as good as new!

I was treated promptly and keep kindly, when I came in after a bicycling accident. The medication that was prescribed is working. The glued wound continued to bleed at home, so I had to apply a large adhesive strip to stop bleeding on my clothing. I’m trending better. Thanks for your care.

The doctor and whole team was awesome. My first time there and my first time to an urgent care facility. Good to know there is a convenient place in my neighborhood that I can get in and out quickly. A quick diagnosis, vitals, medical notes/info, and a prescription …and a CVS in the same mall for the pharmacy!
