Worker’s Compensation & Insurance
This type of insurance payment covers employee wages and medical expenses for on-the-job accidents and injuries. Treatment for illnesses is also covered, as part of various payment schemes to help employees cover the cost of medical items, rehabilitation services, weekly benefits, payment for certain items, and to treat workplace injuries.
The law requires businesses to provide this type of insurance for all employees, whether they are trainees, part-time workers, or full-time employees. This arrangement is important for both employees and companies, since it guarantees and facilitates treatment in the event of a health-related mishap.
However, many people who are inexperienced with the system often have difficulty determining which types of treatment are covered, and which are not.
Who is eligible?
For those residing in Western Australia, WorkCover WA is responsible for maintaining your worker’s compensation scheme and setting the rates of coverage.
Most employers have a preferred medical centre, however you have the right to choose your own on most occasions. There are also limitations involved, such as gap-payment liabilities – so we advise that you consult your medical practitioners, employer, or insurer for these details if you are concerned about out-of-pocket costs.
Otherwise, each state and territory has different schemes which are regulated by their local government.
Understanding coverage and benefits
Depending on the type of treatment you receive, your medical bills may be covered or reimbursed by the insurer in the event of a work-related accident. If you sustain an injury at work that requires rehabilitation, we will help you by working with your insurer to get the rehabilitation and treatment that you require.
Our goal is to provide you with quality care in a friendly environment, and this patient-centred approach extends beyond our treatment rooms. To that end, we strive to seamlessly integrate our administrative obligations with your insurance provider.
Many of our therapy services are compatible with other insurance plans issued from the government – including the DVA, Medicare & HICAPS, EPC, and NDIS. We also work alongside private health insurers to deliver a smooth overall experience for our patients, from the moment you walk in the door.
Sessions typically take the form of physical therapy, though our professionally certified staff may also issue you with specialised equipment to support your recovery. These sessions are conducted by trained professionals to restore your range of motion and get you back on your feet.
In short, we’ll help you resume your daily work activities once again – delivering a positive outcome for you and your employer alike
