How Does Workers’ Comp for Short-Term/Lifetime Future Medical Care for Professional Athletes Work in California?
Workers' compensation covers the cost of medical care for work-related injuries or illnesses, regardless of whether they're short-term or long-term.
Workers’ Compensation for Short-Term Medical Care for Pro Athletes
If you get hurt while playing or taking part in team-sanctioned activities, workers' compensation for short-term medical care should cover the expenses associated with urgent care, doctor visits, x-rays, physical therapy, and any medications prescribed by an authorized healthcare provider. There may be a designated network of doctors you must see initially, but ultimately, workers' compensation aims to ensure you receive the necessary medical treatment to recover from your work injury without facing financial burden.

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.
