Short-Term vs. Long-Term Care

  • Short-Term Needs: Workers' compensation covers medical expenses directly related to healing from your initial injury and getting you back to playing as soon as possible.
  • Long-Term/Future Needs: California recognizes the potential for professional sports injuries to have lasting consequences. If your injury is likely to require ongoing medical care, such as pain management or future surgeries, workers' compensation can cover those expenses as well. However, proving the necessity of future care may require strong medical documentation.

What You Need to Know

  • Authorization: You typically need prior authorization from the insurance company before receiving certain medical treatments. We can help you navigate this process.
  • Medical Provider Network: The insurance company may have a designated network of healthcare providers. You have the right to choose your own doctor within reasonable geographic limitations, but out-of-network care may require additional steps.
  • Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI): Benefits typically continue until you reach MMI, a point where your condition is unlikely to improve further. However, in some cases, you may be eligible for ongoing medical care if properly documented.
