Payment of Bills after Work Accident

Following a work accident an injured employee may be hounded by collectors for outstanding balances with:

• Hospitals,
• Doctors offices,
• Physical therapy offices and more.

In Ohio, if the injured employee has an allowed workers comp claim, those bills should be submitted to an MCO (Managed Care Organization) or self-insured employer.

The bill will need to be related to the work injury or it is unlikely to be paid. This can be a point of contention as the MCO or employer might deny payment arguing the bill is unrelated to the work injury and/or the conditions allowed or recognized in the claim.

If you are struggling with getting your bills paid and believe they are related to a work injury, feel free to use the contact form below or call one of our experienced attorneys at 513-737-5180.
