Medical Treatment Lien Recovery

The California Labor Code that pertains to Workers’ Compensation, states that the employer (i.e. the Workers Compensation Insurance Carrier) is responsible for the medical care and treatment of an employee’s work related injuries.

Disputes often arise as to whether or not the injury is work related. In such disputes, the employer refuses to pay for medical care and the employee’s Health Insurance Carrier is responsible for treatment until the dispute is resolved by the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (Silberg vs.California Life Ins., 1974.
