Workers Compensation
Workers Compensation patients are treated at the expense of their workers compensation insurer. You are requested to inform your treating doctor on your first visit that you are making a Workers Compensation claim for a work related injury or illness. You will be required to complete a form which includes your employer’s details as well as your signature . The practice does not bill workers compensation directly, you will be asked to pay for your consultation on the day and claim the refund from your insurance company or employer. Once you have a claim number, we can then bill WorkSafe QLD.
