If you thought you had a heart attack at work and had to take an ambulance is it covered by workmans comp?

In: Workers Compensation [Recategorize]

[Edit]

Answer

If the reference is to the ambulance and/or hospital charges, those would not be covered under a WCI claim. Those type of charges might be covered under the person's medical insurance. However, state laws govern workman's compensation and some do have provisions for paying specific charges not covered under regular medical insurance. The best option would be to contact the employer or the person at the company that handles WC issues/claims, to find out exactly what benefits are available.
