Leveling the Field between Injured Iowans and Insurance Companies.

Is my employer and/or their insurance company responsible for the medical expenses caused by my work injury?

 

A: Yes.  They are responsible for paying for all medical care necessary to treat your work injury.  This includes all forms of care and treatment, whether hospital, medical, therapy, nursing, diagnostic testing, surgery, physical rehabilitation or pain management.  Also, you are entitled to be reimbursed at the rate of $.55 effecitve July 1, 2009 (the prior rate starting July 1, 2008 was $.585 per mile), 2008, for all mileage you incur going to and from doctors’ appointments, physical therapy visits, obtaining prescriptions, etc.  However, keep in mind that under Iowa law your employer and/or their insurance company generally have the right to choose your doctors and other medical providers.
