Rehabilitation

Workers can also receive supplemental wage benefits while training for new positions or learning new trades. Benefits are typically equal to those awarded for TTD.

Lost Wages

You can receive compensation for some of the wages you lose due to temporary and/or permanent disability

• Temporary Total Disability: TTD benefits, which equal two-thirds of your average weekly wage, can be paid when you are unable to return to work in any capacity for a limited period of time
• Temporary Partial Disability: TPD benefits, which equal two-thirds of the difference between your pre- and post-injury wages, can be paid when you can return to work on a limited basis
• Permanent Partial Disability: PPD benefits are paid to compensate for permanent disability or disfigurement that affects your ability to work at your normal capacity
• Permanent Total Disability: PTD benefits are paid for life when your work-related injury prevents you from returning to work at any capacity

Wage benefits are generally only awarded until you reach Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) or can return to work in some capacity. They are also limited to statutory caps, as established by Nevada state law. The maximum disability benefit in 2024 is $1,173.27 per week.

Medical Expenses

Your employer’s insurance company should pay for all reasonable and necessary medical bills related to your workplace injury, such as:

• Hospitalization
• Surgery
• Medication
• Follow-up care
• Medical devices
• Medical equipment
• Rehabilitation
• Physical therapy
• Chiropractic care
• Dental care

You must seek treatment from a plan-approved medical provider. There is no guarantee that your medical bills will be paid if you seek care from a doctor or professional outside of the insurance company’s network.
