How workers’ comp works

How workers’ comp care works in Wisconsin

Here’s what Wisconsin’s Department of Workforce Development tells injured workers.

Wisconsin’s worker’s compensation system covers medical care for injuries that happen on the job.

You have the right to choose your practitioner. That includes any chiropractor licensed in Wisconsin.1,2

The insurance carrier or self-insured employer pays reasonable and necessary medical expenses. That includes mileage to and from care.1,2

In an emergency, you can go to any doctor right away.1

This page shares general information, not legal advice. For questions about your claim, contact the Wisconsin Worker’s Compensation Division at (608) 266-1340.2

Report the injury

Tell your supervisor right away. The legal deadline is two years, but sooner is better.2

Choose your practitioner

You pick your doctor, and you’re allowed a second choice. Tell your employer or the insurer who you choose.1,2

Care billed to the claim

Medical bills go to the insurer or self-insured employer, not to you, when the claim is accepted.1,2

How we help

How chiropractic care helps injured workers

Your doctor listens to how the injury happened, checks how you move, and talks through care that fits your job.

Good to know

If you don’t want an adjustment

Say so, and your doctor won’t adjust you. Gentle joint movement, muscle work, and exercise are other options. You choose your care.

Hands-on

Spinal adjustments

Targeted adjustments help stiff joints in your back and neck move more freely.

Gentle option

Gentle joint and muscle work

Slow movements and pressure ease tight, sore muscles after an injury.

Rehab

Exercises for your job

Exercises that rebuild the strength and movement your work asks for.

Back to work

Return-to-work notes

Your doctor can talk with you about work restrictions and provide notes for your employer.

After a work injury

What to do after a work injury

A few early steps can keep your claim and your care on track.

  1. Get emergency care if you need it

    In an emergency, go to any doctor or emergency room right away.1

  2. Tell your supervisor

    Report the accident or injury to your supervisor right away.2

  3. Choose your practitioner

    You can choose a licensed Wisconsin chiropractor. Tell your employer who you choose. Skipping this step can lead to a disputed claim and unpaid bills.1,2

  4. Verify your coverage

    Share your claim details with our team. We check your workers’ comp coverage before your visit.

  5. Stay in touch about work

    Keep in touch with your employer and your practitioner. Ask whether a modified job is possible while you recover.2

Returning to work

Wisconsin encourages a return to work within medical restrictions. Your employer and your practitioner must agree on it.2

If your claim is denied

The insurer must tell you within 7 days and explain your right to a hearing. The Worker’s Compensation Division can answer questions.2

Your first visit

What to expect at your first visit

  1. Share your story

    Your doctor asks what brings you in, when it started, what makes it better or worse, your daily activities, and your goals.

  2. Get a thorough exam

    Your doctor checks how your spine and joints move, where it’s tender, and your strength, reflexes, and sensation. X-rays are taken if needed.

  3. Talk through your options

    Your doctor explains what they found and walks you through care options. You decide what's right for you.

  4. Begin care at your next visit

    Treatment begins at visit two. In acute cases, your doctor may decide same-day treatment is appropriate.

You'll see the same doctor as your care continues, so the person treating you knows your history and your progress.
