Topic: Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA)

Those covered under the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act are entitled to any reasonably necessary medical care, services, and supplies resulting from the injury. This also includes any travel expenses associated with treatment.

Individuals covered under the Act have the right to choose any physician they wish. However, it is recommended that injured workers contact their local Office of Workers' Compensation Programs and request a list of physicians that are not authorized to render treatment under the LHWCA.
