In Missouri, the Missouri Worker’s Compensation Act provides that you are entitled to have your medical bills paid, a portion of your wages paid while off work (TTD) and a lump sum payment at the conclusion of your treatment (PPD). In 2005, the Act was reformed – and not in your favor. The insurance carrier gets to select the doctor you will see, unless you want to pay for your treatment out of pocket. The carrier will often send you to facilities that are paid to say that you are not hurt or that your injury didn’t occur at work. But it isn’t all doom and gloom!
