Your Rights Under New York Workers' Compensation Law

New York State's workers' compensation system provides medical benefits and wage replacement for employees injured on the job or who develop occupational diseases. If you are injured at work, you are entitled to all medically necessary treatment — including physician evaluations, diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, pain management procedures, and prescription medications — at no cost to you.

Your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier pays for all authorized medical treatment. You do not need to pay deductibles, copays, or out-of-pocket costs for covered services. NYC Pain Management handles all workers' compensation billing directly — you focus on recovery.
