The Work Injuries We See From East Liberty

East Liberty's job base has transformed — Google's Bakery Square campus, Target, Whole Foods, and a dense corridor of restaurants, gyms, and service businesses employ thousands within a mile of our front door.

Because we're located right on Penn Avenue, injured East Liberty workers can often walk to their appointments — no downtown parking garages, no cross-town commute while you're hurting.

The injuries we treat most: low back strains from lifting, neck and shoulder injuries, sciatica, disc injuries, and repetitive stress conditions like carpal tunnel and wrist pain. Our goal isn't just symptom relief — it's restoring the strength and movement your job actually demands, with honest return-to-work guidance. See our full work injury program.

Your Rights Under PA Workers' Comp

The 90-Day Rule, WorkPartners, and What Treatment Costs You (Nothing)

Pennsylvania workers' compensation pays 100% of reasonable and necessary medical treatment for accepted claims — no copays, no deductibles, no bills to you. The main rule to understand is the 90-day panel rule: if your employer properly posted a list of designated providers and you signed an acknowledgment, you generally treat with a panel provider for the first 90 days. After that — or if no valid panel exists — the choice is yours.

We treat injured workers across claim administrators, including UPMC WorkPartners, and we handle what makes work-comp care smooth: direct billing to the carrier, physician referral coordination for physical therapy (required on WC claims — here's how that works), progress documentation, and clear communication with adjusters and case managers.

Common Questions

Work Injury FAQs — East Liberty

Can I choose my own doctor for a work injury in Pennsylvania?
It depends on timing. If your employer properly posted a list of designated providers and you signed an acknowledgment, you generally must treat with a listed provider for the first 90 days after your injury. After 90 days — or if your employer never maintained a proper panel — you can choose any provider you trust, including our clinic. Call us and we'll help you figure out where you stand.
Who pays for workers' comp treatment — and what does it cost me?
For an accepted workers' compensation claim, the workers' comp insurer pays 100% of reasonable and necessary medical treatment. You pay no copays and no deductibles. We bill the carrier directly and handle the paperwork.
Do you accept UPMC WorkPartners claims?
Yes. We regularly treat injured workers whose claims are administered through UPMC WorkPartners, and we coordinate directly with adjusters and case managers on treatment plans, progress reports, and return-to-work documentation.
What should I do first if I'm hurt at work?
Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible — prompt reporting protects your claim. Get evaluated early, follow the 90-day panel rules if they apply, and keep records. If your claim is disputed or denied, a workers' compensation attorney can advise you on your options; we're happy to provide the thorough medical documentation that supports legitimate claims.
