What is workers’ compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a program that covers the cost of medical expenses for treating on-the-job injuries and illnesses. You might be eligible for medical treatment, wage replacement, rehabilitation, and other benefits if you are injured while working.

The StrongURCare team works closely with your employer’s workers’ compensation plan to ensure that you don’t have to pay out of pocket for the medical care you receive.

StrongURCare diagnoses and treats the following injuries and more suffered on the job:
