Peoria Representation for Obtaining Medical Benefits
One of the benefits of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act is that an injured worker can expect following a work-related injury is access to reasonable and necessary medical care. The cost is covered by the employer pursuant to the fee schedule as recorded in the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act.
Many times, despite the obvious nature of an injury and the necessity for related medical care, the medical provider will insist on receiving authorization for care. The requirement of authorization is totally absent from the ill work comp act. Instead, it is the result of the practicalities of how medical providers do business these days. They want their care to be authorized meaning they want to know their bill is going to be paid before they provide any service.

Demanding authorization for work injury related medical care and treatment is a unique way of doing business. Unfortunately, it may be necessary to even get in the front doors of medical providers. Illinois lawyer John Lesaganich can assist you with obtaining the care you need through authorization or temporarily utilizing your personal group health coverage while making sure all forms reflect the visits are for work-related injury.
With more than 30 years of experience, John Lesaganich successfully employs techniques to obtain authorization for medical benefits and care. He is effective in obtaining access to medical records, meticulous in organization and persuasive in presenting case information in the manner to which insurance companies are receptive.
When you require medical benefits, there is no substitute for an attorney's experience and a trial record when securing voluntary authorization. If authorization is not granted, Attorney Lesaganich will seek a focused pretrial and a recommendation from an arbitrator for benefits due to the necessity of treatment for work-related accidental injuries. If negotiation and pretrial is not successful, the firm will pursue arbitration for an employer to be ordered to authorize the medical benefits for care and treatment.
