workers comp.

Back in Febuary I was working in a medical facility doing above ceiling work, when I noticed a hot water pipe was leaking at the elbow,so I told a plumber about it and he took a look and turned off the pressure,then went to lunch. Having only a little work left on my own project ,I figured I'd finish up. then the pipe burst right in my face. I went to find someone from engineering, and he told me as a precaution I should go to the emergency room.Fortunately the water had had time to cool some so therewas redness,but nothing serious as to miss work or anything.I then contacted human resources at work and gave them my info and answeredpertinant questions. Then the following month,I get a bill from the hospital. workers comp had paid 72$ of 150$ bill. back to human resources I go and a couple days later h.r. called me and said everything was cleared up.THE next month I got billed again, but now my wife and son hove copays that I can't pay on because w.c. is dragging their feet.Icallh.r. again andshe calls w.c. and they tell her they need my date of hire,and hourlly rate. Then today I get a letterfrom w.c.witha release of medical records form to be signed and returned. Does any body out there know how I can get the results I need without having to send this form ? I find this to be unnecessary and a dewliberate effort on their part to get me to pay it myself and avoid the hassle.

As someone who is currently dealing with workmans compensation i can only tell you that they will do everything they can to screw you over. if i were you i would get a phone number to call directly to the insurance adjuster that is handling your case so there is no third party misconceptions. as to the paperwork, yes you need to return it to them, your medical records cannot be accessed by the company until you do so, and im sure they want to make sure you were tested for drugs and all that other nonsense in order for them to pay up in full. no matter what you do, dont pay a damn cent. You will mostly likely never see that money reimbursed in this lifetime. Goodluck dealing with the insurance company, red tape and craploads of paperwork are what make companies like that run.

I would contact your State Representatives and Senators and ask for their help. At the very least, their constituent services person should be able to tell you were to look in statute for your rights.

Here is the legislative link for NH: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/
