Working & Hurt in Oakland
Oakland is the healthcare and education engine of Pittsburgh — UPMC Presbyterian, Montefiore, and Magee-Womens Hospital, plus the University of Pittsburgh, employ an enormous workforce of nurses, technicians, food service, custodial, maintenance, and administrative staff. Patient handling, repetitive lifting, awkward postures, and slip-and-fall injuries are everyday realities in hospital work. Many of these claims run through UPMC WorkPartners — and our clinic regularly treats injured workers covered through the WorkPartners program, handling the paperwork and communication so you can focus on healing.
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
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.
