Workers' Compensation and Medical Benefits
Minnesota law requires employers to obtain workers' compensation insurance or become self-insured. Workers' compensation insurance is designed to provide injured workers with wage benefits and medical benefits in the event of a work-related accident or illness.
If you are a Minnesota worker who has suffered a workplace injury, you are entitled to receive medical care that is reasonable and necessary. As long as the medical care is a result of your work injury, most medical costs may be covered.

Know Your Rights
If you have been injured, it is important to know your rights. You have a right to have most medical expenses covered if they are necessary and related to your work injury. You are not precluded from coverage simply because you have a pre-existing condition. Moreover, workers' compensation covers many forms of injury, including physical injury, mental injury and occupational diseases.
