Workers' Compensation Discussion Forums

I am a TX eyecare professional and am considering accepting workman's comp as I make a move to provide my services in an independent private practice setting. I am not sure how many claims are filed for vision related anomalies? Would it be worth my time to apply? What is the paperwork like? How do I go about the credentialing process? How many patients may I expect as a result of this move? All comments are appreciated.

I do not have a lot of information about Texas provider requirements. We have a forum user named Dallas who has extensive WC Insurance experience in Texas. Hopefully she will see your post and weigh in.

You can also contact the state insurance division. They may be able to answer many of your questions. You can find many contact numbers here:

And yes, it would be well worth you while, as injured workers are always looking forward to a good / great Doctor that cares.
