I was injured in a work related accident 3 1/2 years ago that left a 12 inch long scar on my midsection, from the accident and surgery. All medical bills were paid by workers compensation with no problems. I inquired as to getting plastic surgery to remove the scar caused by the accident. My workers comp representative told me to find a plastic surgeon who accepts workers comp, get a price for the surgery and THEN they would discuss whether or not they would pay for the scar removal. I could not find a plastic surgeon that accepts workers comp. I offered to pay for the scar removal myself and have workers comp reimburse me. They said they could not do that....the usual "Not our policy" speech. Is it possible for me to go ahead with the surgery, pay for it myself and force workers comp to reimburse me? Do I have any other options in this matter? I live in Ohio.
