Medical Benefits should be paid by your employer's insurance company. The employer has the right to select the doctor who will treat you, if this is done as soon as you report your injury. You need to file a written report of your injury within four days after you are hurt. Medical benefits will be paid until you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI), as determined by your doctor. They can also continue beyond MMI if the doctor indicates in writing that you will need care to maintain your condition.
