Idaho Work Injury? Beware of Nurse Case Managers! 👩‍⚕️

If you’ve suffered an Idaho work injury, you may be contacted by a Nurse Case Manager (NCM). While they claim to help with your recovery, it’s vital to remember: NCMs work for the insurance company, not you.

Idaho Nurse Case Manager - Work Comp

The Reality of Nurse Case Managers

An NCM is hired by the insurance carrier to oversee your treatment. To justify their cost, they must save the insurance company money—and those savings often come directly out of your benefits.

Why You Should Be Cautious

  • Doctor Pressure: NCMs may influence physicians to clear you for work prematurely or limit necessary treatments.
  • Appointment Intrusions: They often try to attend your private medical exams to monitor and sway the conversation.
  • Information Sharing: Anything you say to an NCM is reported back to the insurer and can be used to reduce your benefits.

Your Next Steps

  1. Politely Decline: You are not legally required to speak with or be managed by an NCM.
  2. Follow Medical Advice Only: Only your doctor—not an insurance representative—should dictate your recovery timeline.
  3. Consult an Attorney: Protect your rights before engaging with insurance representatives.

Goicoechea Law, LLC, fights unfair insurance tactics. If an NCM has contacted you, call us immediately for a free case review.

⚠️ Idaho Workers’ Comp Alert: The Truth About “Independent” Medical Exams (IMEs)

If you’ve been injured on the job in Idaho, be cautious when an insurance company schedules an “Independent” Medical Exam (IME). Despite the name, these exams are rarely neutral. Often, they are used as a tool to justify reducing or cutting off your hard-earned benefits.

Idaho Insurance Medical Examination - IME

🩺 What You Need to Know About IMEs:

Doctor Selection: Insurance companies often hand-pick doctors who frequently side with the insurer.

The Objective: These reports are often used to minimize the extent of your injuries or claim you have reached “Maximum Medical Improvement” (MMI) prematurely.

The Risk: A single biased report can jeopardize your medical care, wage loss checks, and disability benefits.

⚖️ Why Goicoechea Law, LLC is Different We don’t just react to insurance tactics; we challenge work comp insurance companies.

How We Protect You:
✅ Aggressive Advocacy: We challenge biased IME results and ensure your voice is heard.
✅ Precedent-Setting Experience: We know the law because we help shape it at the Industrial Commission and Supreme Court level.
✅ No Upfront Fees: We work on a contingency basis—you don’t pay unless we win your case.

⚖️ Landmark Victory for Idaho Workers: Protecting You from Insurance Overreach

At Goicoechea Law, LLC, we don’t just practice law—we shape it. We are proud to announce a major victory in the Idaho Supreme Court case Coronado v. City of Boise, where our firm successfully fought to protect the procedural rights of injured workers across the state.

The Issue: Can an Insurance Company Sue You? For years, some employers and insurance companies tried to flip the script by initiating litigation against injured workers. They would file “complaints” to force hearings on a worker’s benefits, often using legal pressure to minimize claims or stop benefits prematurely.

The Supreme Court’s Decision: The Idaho Supreme Court agreed with our argument: Only the injured worker has the right to initiate a hearing regarding their compensation. The Court ruled that the Industrial Commission exceeded its powers by allowing employers to file these complaints.

What This Means for You: This decision is a massive shield against insurance company overreach. It ensures that: 

✅ You Control the Timeline: Insurance companies cannot “bully” you into a legal battle before you are ready. 

✅ Fair Process: The “humane purposes” of Idaho’s Workers’ Comp laws are preserved—protecting the worker, not the insurer. 

✅ Sure and Certain Relief: Your right to benefits cannot be side-tracked by aggressive employer-led litigation.

If you’ve been injured, you need an attorney who knows the law because they helped write the precedent.
