Recovery Of Hospitalization ExpensesOnly after approved by the attorney representing the worker's compensation insurance company or a representative of the insurance company. However, if your treating phyisician recommended the hospitalization because it was a medical necessity then it should be covered. However, if you did not obtain prior medical authorization by the Doctor Who is working with your attorney, your attorney or your own personal phyisician and the insurance company can prove that your hospitalization was not a medical necessity,an extreme medical problem or an emergency, then it is going to be harder for you to be reimbursed. Never do any thing without first hearing from your attorney or if your work related injury is an emergency or becomes one then by all means seek out treatment. The insurance company and/or their attorney will have to prove that your emergency hospitalization was medically unnecassary.

The question suggests that you may not have an attorney representing you and if that is the case find one that specalizes in worker's compensation claims ASAP. The attorneys receive a percentage of the settlement amount at the closing of your claim as payment for their services and the entire worker's compensation process is regulated by your State. Generally, this type of legal action is not treated like a personal injury case. You are not suing your employer generally speaking. Keep in mind, if you are settling your case in Calif. your employer can let you go after a few months and you should find out how long your employer has to keep you on as an employee. May God give you the strength to endure this legal process and your injury is not extremely serious. I will be hoping that you will experience quick and fair settlement. Do not, if at all possible, allow the insurance company to pay you a lump sum settlement for your future medical costs. May God bless you by keeping you patient and unafraid.
