Nancy Wallace: for the best doctor, and disability payments
99% of Comp doctors are unhelpful. You need someone to pick the right doctor from the insurer's list. You need someone to get you your disability payments when that doctor says you can't work. The adjuster and case worker will refuse payments if your doctor doesn't request what you need with the right words. HIRE A CERTIFIED SPECIALIST WITH 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE...no fee until claim resolves.
Legal Answer
the only way you would be entitled to get paid by the insurance carrier for physical therapy is if you were unable to work. in other words, if you are temporarily disabled. so the employer is correct that you do not get paid for physical therapy in your current circumstance.
