Summary
Let’s talk about alternative medicine and coverage under Workers’ Comp’s hodgepodge of rules. Guest Maya Rashid is a recent graduate of Penn State Law and the winner of the College of Workers’ Compensation Lawyers’ student writing competition with her article “Revitalizing Recovery: Exploring Workers’ Compensation Coverage of Alternative Medicine.” Fighting for clients seeking treatment through alternative medicine under Workers’ Comp? Even traditional medicine can get tangled in case law and treatments, but when it comes to alternative medicines, where do you, and your clients, stand? It’s a confusing issue, trying to figure out how injured workers can choose their own care and recovery path versus what insurers and jurisdictions determine is “reasonable.” The word “reasonable” varies across jurisdictions. Not to mention the confusion of medical bill coding. If you, and your clients, are confused, you aren’t alone.
