What Is Workers’ Compensation?
Workers’ compensation (often called “workman’s comp”) is an insurance program that covers your medical treatment, rehabilitation, and lost wages if you’re injured at work.
In Arizona, you have the legal right to choose your provider and NMDs are fully licensed to treat workers’ comp patients. That means you can choose natural, root-cause healing over quick fixes and unnecessary procedures.
