In most cases, outside insurance companies will not pay for any medical expenses related to a wc case. They will tell you wc is paying, it's their thing, not ours.

A wc case is not completely done until you accept a settlement from them and not before. They usually try to make people go back to work regardless of capability sometimes. Just because they force you to go back does not mean they won't be paying for your care because they have to pay.

Depending on your wc laws, when a settlement is paid out, you are fully responsible after that for your own care. If you live in a state with lifetime medical benefits and that is part of the settlement, then wc has to pay for your medical expenses related to your case. In florida there is no lifetime medical, so when I settled I then had to pay for everything myself.
