Where should medical expenses for a patient injured at his or her place of employment be sent?

  1. Primary care physician

  2. Health insurance company

  3. Auto insurance company

  4. Workers' compensation insurance

The correct answer is: Workers' compensation insurance

When a patient is injured at their place of employment, medical expenses related to that injury should be sent to Workers' compensation insurance. Workers' compensation is specifically designed to cover medical costs and provide benefits for employees who are injured while performing their job duties. This includes any necessary medical treatment, rehabilitation, and compensation for lost wages during recovery. Utilizing Workers' compensation ensures that the medical expenses are processed under the appropriate insurance coverage tailored for workplace injuries. This system exists to protect both the employee and the employer, providing resources for the employee while managing costs for the employer. Other options, such as health insurance or auto insurance, do not apply in this context since they are not intended to cover workplace-related injuries.
