Workers Compensation
When a workers' compensation case requires mental health therapy, especially when the injury is severe enough impair functioning and prevent the employee to work, it may be necessary to work with a qualified mental health professional who is familiar with the law, who feels comfortable working with worker's compensation attorneys and who can treat the illness in question.
Worker's compensation may cover mental health therapy for injury-related stress, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychiatric care.
Workers Compensation Covers Mental Health
The law suggests that most workers in the state of North Carolina are eligible for workers' compensation benefits depending on where they live and work, where in some situations a claim may cover mental illness even from cumulative, repeat trauma in work according to the Workers' Compensation Research Institute.
At Wilmington Mental Health, we believe that workers' compensation coverage is a universal right that employees must inherit when they start a job that they should be able to receive mental and medical assistance paid by their workers' compensation benefits when injured or sickened on the job. Our mental health providers are trained to work with insurance investigators and fill out any document required to justify the necessity of treatment post-injury.

Workers' Compensation in Therapy
Therapy for workers' compensation cases is indicated for the treatment of mental health issues related to injury. Our counselors develop a treatment plan and return-to-work plan with the employee and use mental health diagnoses to guide their intervention. They help the employee identify their treatment goals and objectives.
In some cases, progress is often measured by comparing baseline symptoms with how intense and/or frequent those symptoms present over time.
