Work-injury care begins with the employee’s medical needs, then coordinates records and work-status documentation. New York workers’ compensation requirements and clinician authorization should be confirmed for the specific case.

An injured employee should seek necessary care and report the incident through the employer’s process. Provide the injury date, symptoms, job duties, employer and claim information, and any required forms. Emergency symptoms require emergency care.
Confirm the treating clinician’s workers’ compensation role, follow-up, documentation and any restrictions. An employer consultation is for program coordination and should not delay an injured worker’s clinical visit. A routine booking is not proof that every clinician handles every claim.
Confirm the service list, employee eligibility, locations, dates, employer authorization, payment arrangements and reporting contacts with the employer-service team. Give employees the correct appointment instructions and a route for questions or missed appointments. Confirm any proposed workplace event or outside collection site before arranging attendance.
Employers should receive only the information needed for the authorized work request. Agree on completion reports, restrictions or other necessary documentation and who may see them. Covered employers must keep medical information confidential and separate from ordinary personnel files. An employee’s personal treatment needs remain a confidential clinical matter.

Clinical records and appropriate work-status documentation can support the claim process, but the employer, carrier and New York Workers’ Compensation Board have separate responsibilities. Confirm the treating clinician’s authorization, billing, requested forms and reporting contact; no clinic can guarantee claim acceptance.
Arrange the treating clinician’s follow-up, symptom review and any needed rehabilitation or specialist referral. Review restrictions against the actual duties and update work-status documentation when clinically appropriate.
Identify the requirement that applies to the job and the actual service. DOT drug and alcohol testing uses its prescribed collection, laboratory and review process; OSHA respirator, hearing and other workplace requirements have different rules. Confirm the qualified professional, required protocol and documentation for the requested assignment rather than relying on a general compliance claim.
Seek necessary medical care promptly after a work injury. Ask the selected service about current appointments and confirm workers’ compensation arrangements for the case. Emergency symptoms need emergency care instead of waiting for program coordination.

Coordinate physicals, drug and alcohol testing, and medical review across employee locations. The employer-service team can help define appointments, authorizations, costs and permitted reports for your program.
