If the insurance company denies you an MRI, a test, or any treatment, what we do is file a petition in the Workers’ Compensation Court saying that you needed this form of treatment, it was denied or not approved, and we ask for a court order authorizing and approving the treatment or test you require. Once we get that order, the insurance company must pay it because a judge has weighed in on the dispute and determined the treatment is reasonable and necessary. If you need help navigating a denial, our workers compensation lawyers in Rhode Island can guide you through the process, and you can also review our denied claim appeal in RI for a better understanding of how treatment approvals work. It may also be helpful to explore issues like doctor-recommended treatment denials or your rights when choosing your own doctor.
