It isn’t because I have info to tell you about a Facebook group set up for injured workers in CA to organize and share stories about medical care delays and denials (if there isn’t one maybe there should be), BUT because insurance companies love to spy on injured workers through their social media accounts. If a person gets injured at work, files a claim, is then off of work because they cannot physically do the work, but then is on social media posting that they had a great workout at the gym or how much fun parasailing in Hawaii is, then it does not look good and looks like a possible fraud situation to the insurance company. If you have filed a carpal tunnel claim related to the stress and strain of repetitive typing, and then tweet about the hours you have put in playing a video game or posting the equivalent of short stories about knitting quilts on Facebook, that alleged carpal tunnel injury all of a sudden doesn’t look like it is impacting you all that much.

Temporary disability benefits is money issued to the injured worker if the work injury prevents the person from working. Permanent disability benefits are money benefits issued to an injured worker based on a percentage of permanent disability. Maximum medical improvement is when an injured worker’s medical condition after reasonable treatment has plateaued, meaning the person is not expected to get much better or worse within 12 months. Requests for authorizations of medical treatment and prescriptions submitted by the injured person’s doctor are evaluated by utilization review to determine if the request is medically necessary.

Let’s say for example that your work provided you with a lunch that is worth $10 everyday. If you are off of work and not getting that lunch everyday anymore, then its value should be reflected in your weekly TD rate, which would mean an additional $6.66 per day.
