Should i get paid if im doing physical theropy because of a work related injury?
Question:
after all it is because of the job that i am injured...
anyone have any info?
Answers:
I don't understand the question. As far as what L&I covers:
Your medical bills will be paid.
Your physical therapy bills will be paid.
Lost work time will be reimbursed @ around 60% normal wage. (This can take up to 6 weeks though.)
You won't be compensated for the doctors visits or physical therapy you undergo on your own time, nor will the bills of any "optional" treatment you undergo (Massage therapy, or acupuncture or whatever.)
If you have any questions, you can contact your local Department of Labor office.
