Legal Question in Workers Comp in Texas

Re: Workers Compensation

A Texas injured worker is entitled to all reasonable and necessary medical treatment that is related to the compensable injury, and that is for life. It cannot be taken away. However, disputes arise sometimes over exactly what treatment is reasonable and necessary.

The DWC has a medical review division that handles disputes over medical treatment and preauthorization issues. Oftentimes, these preauthorzation issues are resolved by filing form LHL009, which asks the DWC to appoint an independent review organization to review the preauthorization request and determine whether or not it must be preauthorized despite the carrier's denial of benefits.

A link to the DWC forms page can be found at www.dallasworkcomp.com. Once on the forms page, look for the link to medical forms and it will be there.

Re: Workers Compensation

Yes if you do not contact Texas division of workers compensation and let the Office of injured employees counsel help you. Unfortunately Texas does not let work comp claimants pay lawyers to help them get medical treatment under workers compensation law.
