Legal Question in Insurance Law in New Jersey

Is this action Insurance illegal

I work for the state of NJ. one of our officers was injured at work, doing his assigned duties. he was sent to the hospital and treated. he was advised to submit the hospital bills to His Own HMO for processing payment. I believe that workers comp should be responsable for paying these bills, not his own HMO coverage. if he were to do this, and the HOM found out where and when he was truely injured, would he be breaking the law? also would the state employee, whom told him to do this be breaking the law also? the state employee has told several officers this same thing over the last couple months. Thank you for your help in this matter

Assuming that you have given all of the needed information (and no insult, I assure you, it is almost impossible for a person to give ALL of the critical information in a posting like this), then you may want to consider the following ideas.

I can not tell exactly what is going on here, but normally worker's compensation is involved in on-the-job injuries.

An attorney may be able to assist you in trying to resolve this. If you would like, give me a call to set up an appointment; I am in northern New Jersey. My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.
