Medical Treatment

Your employer gets to choose the doctor you see on your first medical treatment. After this, you are allowed to choose your own doctor. (However, if your doctor is self-insured, he or she may have the right to determine which doctor you see on a continual basis.)

Workers’ compensation benefits cover all reasonable and necessary medical treatment associated with your injury or illness. Because your doctor bills your workers’ comp insurance company directly, you won’t have to pay out of pocket for medical care.

Wage Loss

Workers receive both medical coverage and payments for lost wages and permanent disabilities.

Temporary Benefits

If you are unable to work for more than one week, you are able to receive compensation for the lost wages, which are called “lost time benefits.” Your doctor must certify that you are not able to work.

Lost time benefits are two-thirds of your monthly income and are determined by your earnings from the month before you got sick or injured.

Arizona has a maximum monthly benefit of $5,161.12 per month, as of August 2023. This benefit is considered temporary and only lasts while your doctor is actively treating you. When your doctor determines you’re able to return to work, you’ll receive a letter from the insurance company called a Notice of Claim Status, which tells you the doctor said you can work again.

If you can’t return to work full-time or can only do modified work, and as a result, you are earning less than you usually do, you can continue to get time-lost benefits, which will be two-thirds of the difference in your earnings.

Permanent Benefits

When your doctor finds that your condition is stationary, or not expected to improve any further, he or she will determine whether you have a permanent disability. If you do, the doctor will give you a percentage of your disability. This number, along with your age, education, work history, and earning capacity, determines your rate of compensation. As the best workers' compensation attorney in Phoenix, AZ, Harris Injury Law will help you get the benefits you deserve.
