If you have suffered from a work injury in Iowa and your Workers' Compensation claim is approved, your future medical bills may be paid. According to Iowa law, if you were injured while on the job, your employer's Workers' Compensation coverage is responsible for paying for all medical care necessary to treat your work-related injury. 

This includes all forms of care and treatment, such as: 

  • hospital treatment;
  • medical treatment;
  • physical therapy;
  • nursing;
  • diagnostic testing;
  • surgery;
  • rehabilitation; and
  • pain management. 


When your employer and/or their insurance company is responsible for your work injury, they will get to choose your medical providers. The right to medical care and treatment may continue for the rest of your life for conditions related to your work injury or occupational disease.

On the other hand, if you have suffered from a work injury in Iowa and your Workers' Compensation claim is denied, your future medical bills will not be covered. Just because your claim was denied does not mean that you don't have a case. With the help of an Iowa Workers' Compensation lawyer, you can appeal the denial of your claim.

In an appeal, your Workers' Compensation lawyer can present evidence that pertains to your case, submit the testimony of experts and do their best to help you get the money that you deserve.
