Section 1 — Purpose of This Disclaimer
Benefit Guide NY (workersbenefitguide.com) publishes plain-language guides about the medical side of a New York workers’ compensation claim, including how treatment gets authorized, how the Medical Treatment Guidelines are applied, how billing and prescription disputes typically arise, and how an injured worker can request their own medical records. This Disclaimer explains the limits of that content and should be read before you rely on anything published here.
Section 2 — No Professional Legal or Medical Advice
Benefit Guide NY is not a law firm and does not employ or supervise attorneys who represent claimants before the New York Workers’ Compensation Board. It is also not a medical practice, clinic, or provider, and nothing on this site is written or reviewed by a treating physician on your behalf. The material here is general in nature and cannot account for the specific facts of your injury, your treatment history, or the particular insurance carrier involved in your case.
No attorney-client relationship, no privilege, and no physician-patient relationship arises from reading this site, downloading a guide, submitting a contact form, or exchanging email with us. You should not act, or decline to act, on any medical or legal decision based solely on information found here. Before making decisions about treatment authorization, appealing a denial, or resolving a billing dispute, consult a licensed New York workers’ compensation attorney and your treating medical provider directly.
Section 3 — Accuracy and “As-Is” Presentation
We work to keep our guides current, but the Medical Treatment Guidelines, Workers’ Compensation Board procedures, medical fee schedules, and related New York rules are amended and reinterpreted over time, and a page written in one year may not reflect a subsequent change. All content is provided “as is” and “as available,” without any warranty — express or implied — as to its accuracy, completeness, or continued validity. Every claim is fact-specific, and outcomes described or implied in our guides are illustrative only and are not a prediction of how your own case will be handled.
Section 4 — Third-Party Matching and Referral Disclaimer
If you ask to be connected with an attorney, medical-billing advocate, or other professional through this site, Benefit Guide NY acts only as an independent, informational intermediary. We are not affiliated with, and do not supervise, employ, or control, any professional we refer you to, and a referral is not an endorsement or guarantee of that professional’s competence, licensure status, or fit for your situation. Any engagement, fee arrangement, or professional relationship that results from a referral is formed strictly between you and the third party, and Benefit Guide NY is not a party to it and bears no responsibility for the services rendered.
Section 5 — Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Benefit Guide NY and its owners, contributors, and affiliates disclaim all liability for any loss, damage, or adverse outcome — financial, medical, legal, or otherwise — arising from your use of this site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with any third party referred through it. Use of this site is entirely at your own risk.
