In Missouri, the employer has the right to select the treating healthcare provider for workers' compensation care and usually delegates that choice to its insurer. You may choose a different provider at your own expense. Ask your employer or insurer to authorize care with our office before arranging nonemergency treatment you expect workers' compensation to pay for.
See our work injury treatment page for more on how we approach on-the-job injuries.
Tell your employer about the injury as soon as it happens. Missouri requires injuries to be reported within 30 days, but sooner is always better. Your employer will file the claim with their workers comp carrier.
Your employer or its insurer selects the treating provider. Ask for authorization to see our office before nonemergency care you expect workers' compensation to cover. We can help confirm that authorization.

The length of treatment depends on the severity of the injury and the rate of recovery. Most workers comp cases authorize an initial course of treatment (typically 6 to 12 visits) with re-evaluation milestones. The adjuster reviews progress reports and authorizes continued care as long as the patient is showing functional improvement. Maximum medical improvement (MMI) ends the active treatment phase.
Contact the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation or a Missouri workers' compensation attorney about a denied claim. A denial does not automatically make the patient responsible for charges or make private insurance available. Any proposed billing arrangement must be reviewed against the claim facts, applicable law, and coverage before it is offered.
Yes, when ordered by an authorized provider and pre-approved by the carrier. We refer to in-network imaging facilities and obtain the necessary authorizations. Workers comp typically covers imaging that supports the diagnosis and treatment of the work-related injury.
