How Do I Qualify for Home Health Care After a Work Injury?

To qualify for home health care after a work injury, you must first report the injury to your employer and file a workers’ compensation claim. If your claim is approved, the workers’ compensation insurance may cover the cost of your home health care.

What Type of Home Health Care Services Can I Receive?

The type of home health care services you can receive will depend on the nature and severity of your injury. Some common services include nursing care, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. You may also be eligible for assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. The insurance company will determine the necessary services based on your medical needs.

What Are My Rights as an Injured Worker Receiving Home Health Care?

You have the right to quality care as an injured worker receiving home health care. This includes being informed about your treatment and receiving quality, safe and proper care.

Can I Choose My Own Home Health Care Provider?

The workers’ compensation insurance company will generally determine who will provide you the home health care services. They will choose a qualified provider that they feel is best suited to meet your needs. However, if you have any concerns or preferences regarding your care, it’s important to bring them to the attention of your workers’ comp attorney. They can advocate for you and ensure you receive the best possible care.

Can I Receive Home Health Care While I’m Still Receiving Workers’ Compensation Benefits?

Yes, you can receive home health care while you’re still receiving workers’ comp benefits. In fact, it’s often necessary to receive home health care while you’re still recovering from your work injury. The workers’ compensation insurance company will cover the cost of your home health care as long as your claim is approved and the care is deemed medically necessary.

Bottom line: If you’ve been injured on the job and can no longer take care of yourself, you have the right to receive quality home health care.
