Do Doctors lie to get in Workmens comp cases and to get more clients?
Along time ago I was injuried on a job site.It took two weeks for me to get medical attention from the insurance company.When sent to the hospital after the injury I was not treated due to having no insurance .
I laid in bed for 2 weeks I had trouble walking .The insurance company told the people to give me a MRI and the gave me a regular x-ray .There was no finding of any injury ,later I had my x-rays evaluated by Doctors at a University the found out I had a cortical fracture and that my injury possibly healed during the 2 weeks it took to get insurance companies to tend to my injury.
After talking to alot of people in waiting room to see the doctors they have told me they have noticed alot of strange things concerning there treatment many have truly been injuried but feel doctors lie ,because if they dont they make less money ,insurance companies look for Docotrs that are mostly likely to work in there behalf and people dont see it.
After doing much research I have the statement to be very true and that some Docotrs purposely and willfully lie to get more clints and that insurance companies do all that they can do to pay you hardly nothing for future cost for your injury .I am not saying all docotrs are like this but have found that many are subconsciously doing this in secret so they can have more income .
If given the oppurtunity I could prove it is happening .

1. When a person arrives at a hospital emergency room, the hospital must examine them to see if there is an emergency requiring immediate treatment, even if the person does not have insurance. This rule is so strict that if a parent brings a child to the hospital because parent thinks that the child has a fever, and the hospital finds that the child does not have a fever, they must still examine the child to see if something else is wrong. If the hospital did not examine you at all, then you can sue them, especially if the reason that they did not examine you enough to determine if you were injured was because you did not have insurance.
2. When hospitals treat workers who are injured on the job, they are paid by worker’s comp, and only by worker’s comp, and not by the patient’s insurance, even if the patient has insurance. Whether or not you had insurance would not affect whether a hospital treated you for an on-the-job injury.
Some do. A large portion of workers comp fraud, is ‘inside fraud’ a doctor in collusion with an adjuster, a lawyer, etc. Maybe this happens 1 in 100 docs. Maybe less frequently.
Insurance companies don’t give medical attention, though – hospitals and doctors do. The general thought is, if you’re not hurt badly enough to need medical care, regardless of whether or not someone else is paying for it, then you’re not seriously hurt.
It’s extremely unlikely that the cortical fracture injured in two weeks – the average time is closer to ten weeks. Most likely, that was an old injury.
A doctor’s job, is treating your injury. It’s not their place to determine how it happened, or to lay the blame on workers comp. That’s your lawyer’s job. They don’t get PAID to go to bat for you, and they sure as heck don’t get paid to spend three hours being yelled at by you, to try to convince them that it is what it isn’t. Because that happens all the time, they are usually pretty vague about committing to anything unrelated to treating the injury.
A larger workers comp fraud, is people trying to pass off injuries that happen outside of work, as being work related. It happens ALL THE TIME. Probably about 10% of the claims I see, I’d guess, are either exaggerated, or flat out didn’t happen at work.
So, looking at those odds, it’s more likely that YOU are the guy committing fraud, than the doctor is. Especially since you didn’t “need” any medical attention for two weeks after your injury.
You are listening to the wrong people…there is NO evidence to
support what you claim. Those who carry this idea are those who
have not received what they “think” they are due. WC is a set of
predetermined benefits an employer may be liabile for. Move on from
this… you are spinning your wheels.
Doctors are nothing more than a person with a trade. Do you trust all plumbers? There are good doctors and bad doctors just like plumbers. Unfortunately the last post is not correct from Anon nor is he looking out for your best interest but is biased in favor of the insurance companies. This is what they want you to do. They want you to give up. That is where they make money, denying claims and of course they continue to collect Workman’s Comp fees from the employer. It is very common with Workman’s Comp, especially those who are under the Self Insured Workman’s Comp programs in which they are manipulating the system, hospitals and doctors who are giving false and misleading information. Noticed all the Hospitals are setting up their own Occupational Medicine Departments that work solely with State and Self Insured Workman’s Comp and they have passed laws so that you can only see “their” Doctors that they have in their approved registry. Since they are being paid by L&I It’s only a given that they “DON’T WANT TO BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS THEM”. The Workman’s comp state and private sector is worse than most are willing to admit. I would recommend that if you feel you are getting treated unfairly (bad faith) that you contact an attorney for legal assistance. “DONT JUST GIVE UP” that is what insurance companies want you to do. Furthermore I would recommend if one attorney does not see a case seek out other attorneys who may believe you do have a case. Another reason Anon is hoping you would give up is If a lawsuit or criminal charge is not filed before the statute of limitation expires (or “runs out”), the plaintiff or prosecutor’s right to make a claim or file such a charge is considered dead, or forfeit. Most attorneys have a free consultation so all it will cost you is a little time on your point and if there is a case you can be legally represented on a contingency basis.
