Q: Will L&I pay my medical bills?

A:Yes. If your claim is accepted, usually there are no out-of-pocket expenses to you. Health care providers -- including doctors, clinics, therapists and pharmacies-should send their bills directly to L&I for payment. If your claim has been approved and you receive a bill, please contact the sender and ask them to bill L&I. However, if your eligibility for benefits is in doubt, a health care provider may send a bill to you. If so, keep a copy of the bill and send one to L&I. We will pay the bill if your claim is approved.
