What will be the result if I need further treatment, and the Workers’ Compensation physician refuses to treat me?

According to the New Jersey Workers’ Compensation Act, the workers’ compensation insurance carrier is under an obligation to pay your medical expenses until you attain Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). You will then have to file a Motion for Medical Benefits with the Court.

There is a possibility that you will have a trial regarding the necessity for further medical treatment. A trial for medical treatment can last for months in spite of the dire need for treatment. You should be aware that securing medical treatment through a workers’ compensation carrier can be a lengthy and prolonged process.
