What is Workers Compensation?

Core Medical Center offers comprehensive medical services that help keep you on the job and working at peak performance. We also implement occupational health procedures that can stop problems early on – before serious conditions can develop. It is a combination of treatment and prevention that is very effective.
We realize that not all injury management programs are alike. Therefore, protocols specific to you are kept on file at our clinic. This allows clinic staff to efficiently follow your care plan and ensure that you get the help you need without the waiting or uncertainty.

Understanding Your L&I Claim (Washington State)

If you’ve been injured at work in Washington, your treatment and benefits may be covered through:
The Washington State Fund (L&I)
A self-insured employer

L&I benefits typically cover:

Medical treatment
Some wage replacement
Travel reimbursement for out-of-state treatment (if applicable)
If you're no longer in Washington but your injury or condition is still covered, you can receive care at an approved out‒of‒state provider like Core Medical Center.

HIPAA & Workers’ Comp for WA State Employees

When you file a claim with L&I, your signed Report of Accident or Provider’s Initial Report grants permission for your medical information to be shared directly with L&I. No additional HIPAA forms are required to send documentation related to your claim, streamlining communication and speeding up approval.
