Workers Compensation in Washington

When workers get injured on the job, it is important they get appropriate medical attention as soon as possible after the accident or injury. However, urgent care and ER visits can rack up unnecessary costs for employers and do not necessarily guarantee the highest quality of care.

That is why at Core Medical Center, we strive to make the workers’ comp process as simple and affordable as possible for both the employer and employee. We are now accepting federal workers’ compensation patients. Core Medical Center proudly serves the Kansas City metro area. Let us get your employees back to work the right way!

For simple worker's compensation that gets your employees through their medical care, medical bills, and back to work as quickly as possible, contact Core Medical Center today.

What is Workers Compensation?

Workers compensation insurance is a series of medical and financial benefits given to injured workers as a result of accidents on the job. It's well known in the construction industry and covers medical bills, lost wages, and other related costs due to the work-related injury. At Core Medical Center, we assist in getting injured employees back on their feet as quickly as possible.

At Core Medical Center, we have responded to the needs of business and industry. Core Medical Center offers comprehensive medical services that help keep your employees on the job and working at peak performance. We also implement occupational health procedures that can stop problems early on—before expensive solutions are necessary. It is a combination of treatment and prevention that is very cost-effective.

We realize that not all injury management programs are alike. Therefore, protocols specific to your company are kept on file at our clinic. The “company profile” allows clinic staff to efficiently follow your company instructions regarding light duty policies, authorization and reporting results instructions, and billing instructions. No appointment is necessary, and you will appreciate our commitment to open communications as well as convenient hours.

Functional Capacity Exams (FCEs)

FCEs may be required by law before an employee can return to work. These exams help to ensure a patient can safely return to work. During most FCEs, patients will be assessed on physical strength, range of motion and stability, stamina, and tolerance for strenuous or repeated motions/activities, such as lifting, walking, bending, pushing, pulling, or carrying.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

At Core Medical Center, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a vital part of our multidisciplinary treatment approach—especially for patients recovering from concussions, mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), memory issues, and functional impairments related to workplace or auto injuries. We use CBT to improve memory, focus, and cognitive function post-concussion. We also use it to address emotional dysregulation, help patients develop compensatory strategies for day-to-day tasks, and reinforce positive behavior and self-management tools.

Vestibular Therapy

Vestibular therapy involves exercises that help you manage dizziness and balance issues as a result of workplace injuries. They can also help people cope with symptoms of vertigo, labyrinthitis, and other conditions.

Interventional Pain Management

Pain management services are procedures and therapies that help manage pain and get to the root of the condition causing that pain. At Core Medical Center, we offer a wide array of interventional pain procedures.

Advanced Diagnostics

We offer a wide variety of advanced diagnostics to get to the root cause of your pain or condition. We utilize our diagnostic tools like x‒rays to properly identify and treat injuries your employees may be suffering from.

About Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries

When you’ve suffered any type of trauma to your brain, medical professionals will evaluate your condition to determine the severity of your injury. If your TBI is considered mild, it will be referred to as a “concussion.” Even though it’s a mild TBI, a concussion has the potential for serious consequences like inhibiting your physical functions. A traumatic brain injury is any violent blow or jolt to the head or body that causes damage to the brain. This damage can include an object going through brain tissue or a severe blow to the head. Major traumatic brain injuries can cause bruising, torn tissues, bleeding, and other severe forms of damage to the brain. Unlike a concussion, which will often heal with minimal residual effects, a severe TBI can cause long-term complications or even death.

Is this covered under insurance?

Yes, in most cases. Here's how insurance coverage works for the different types of cases we handle: Federal Workers' Compensation (OWCP): When your OWCP case is approved, services like CBT are fully covered under your federal claim. There is no out-of-pocket cost to you, and we handle all required documentation and approvals. Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) & Personal Injury Cases: These are typically handled on a medical lien basis, meaning we provide care now and get paid later through your attorney, auto insurance, Personal Injury Protection (PIP), or MedPay—depending on what applies to your case. Commercial Insurance & Medicare: We are in-network with most carriers, and approximately 99% of our services are covered by both commercial plans and Medicare. Your actual cost depends on your individual plan benefits—like co-pays, deductibles, and coinsurance. We’ll verify your benefits upfront and explain any costs before treatment. State Workers' Compensation (Missouri, Kansas, etc.): If you’ve been injured on the job, your care is typically covered by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier. Once your claim is approved, we coordinate with the carrier to authorize and provide the treatment you need. Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (WA DOL): For injured workers in Washington, services are covered by WA DOL through the state’s workers’ compensation system and associated insurance carriers. We are registered providers and follow the state’s treatment protocols. If your insurance is medicare and commercial, we are in-network. They will cover it at whatever rate they are contracted and if its MVA is typically on lien or med pay or pip or both, work comp is covered by the carrier.
