Workers Compensation

Authorization
Your Workers' Compensation carrier must grant authorization for you to be seen by our physicians. This authorization must be in our office prior to your initial visit. If we do not have the required authorization, your visit will be rescheduled until it is obtained.

Payment
We can only bill Workers' Compensation if your claim is active and/or the condition our physician is treating has been allowed on your claim.

If your claim or condition is not allowed within 90 days, we must look to you for payment of the account in full. You will be reimbursed if and when Workers' Compensation pays for your services. We suggest that you work closely with your employer or Workers' Comp case manager so that your claim/condition is allowed within the 90-day period. Any services not covered by Workers' Compensation are your responsibility.

Disability Forms
The Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton has developed a standard form for disability benefits. This form will be used for Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and updating information. We will no longer complete carrier-specific disability forms; however, we will provide you with an Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton disability form which will include all necessary information. Due to the volume of requests we receive on a daily basis, please allow 10 business days to complete your form. HealthPort has been contracted to provide this service.

There is a $20.00 processing fee per set of forms and for any updates there may be at later dates. This fee must be paid prior to completion of forms. This is payable by you to HealthPort and may be made via check, money order, or credit card.
