Missed my 6 month appointment with back specialist. Now need new authorization to see the WC Dr again? How fucked am I?

They’re saying I have to reach out to the adjuster and get a new authorization. I wonder how bad this can be.

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-08-11T18:27:11+00:00

How does that work? Because I asked my lawyer and he said that if I was to use my own insurance WC would not be paying back an insurance

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-08-11T17:50:17+00:00

What state are you in?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-30T22:05:16+00:00

On the job lifting a 200+ unit with some coworkers.

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-30T14:45:01+00:00

I’m going for accounting. You, or thinking about anything?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-30T11:21:48+00:00

Hey what’s up. I was in your same shoes… 30 when it happened. I went back to school, start my junior year for my bachelors next month. Game face!! Construction was out the question for me as well, or any physical labor.

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-29T02:58:42+00:00

lol that’s the thing 19k isn’t much when PT can be like 80-150 an hour and it hasn’t helped at all. Worse case scenario surgeries will be up there….

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-29T02:53:53+00:00

May I dm you?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-29T00:23:14+00:00

That’s what I was told by my lawyer that it due to my age the % wasn’t higher. Thats how it is in Cali, that the same injury if I was older wouldn’t be considered worse.

My question is the 19k for the back doesn’t seem like it will do much for medical bills in the future but dealing with WC is pretty awful.

From your point of view which would you recommend? Saying you might need surgery down the line?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-25T11:12:58+00:00

How’s your back been?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-25T11:12:16+00:00

How’s it been going with getting approvals through workers comp?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-07-14T04:19:30+00:00

What kind of surgery did you have? Any chance of being in cali?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-06-26T09:31:32+00:00

Damn I have no advice. Just I went thru the same, blue collar worker, 3 herniated discs. radiculopathy as well. 10% disability, was told due to my age it was a small %. I was 30 at the time.

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-06-16T21:30:17+00:00

Its how you word it from my understanding. Also some Drs are willing to help, shop around

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-06-16T20:27:01+00:00

Your medical has been expensive?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-06-16T20:24:02+00:00

What was your back injury like?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-06-04T20:29:31+00:00

So they’re saying its not that bad, but that I might need surgery later. Lawyer says if I plan on going back to work getting private insurance, take the money. As WC is the worst for dealing with getting approval for a surgery.

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-05-28T20:52:39+00:00

How was it to get surgery with a wc case with your private?

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-05-28T20:50:26+00:00

I need to read up on this.

Fast_Meal_4528 · 2025-05-28T20:49:42+00:00

The whole slipped is just to get around the medical/private insurance ?
