Work Injury Treatment in the Denver Metro
Physician-led care for work-related injuries at four Front Range clinics. Walk in Monday–Friday, 7am–5pm — no appointment needed.
Can’t drive? Free transportation from your job site.The first visit
One visit. Exam, treatment, and the note your employer needs.
Walk in, check in
Bring a photo ID and your employer’s name. We start the claim paperwork at the desk while you wait to be seen.
Exam by a clinician
A provider who treats work injuries all day examines you. If the exam calls for imaging, we order it and refer you out, follow up on the report, and remain your treating provider.
Treatment the same visit
Wound closure, splinting, medication, and a physical-therapy start within days — not a referral to somewhere else.
Leave with a work-status note
Specific restrictions your supervisor can act on, a recheck date, and a call to your employer before you are back on site.
Who treats you
Physician-led care, not a triage desk
Work injuries are evaluated by clinicians who treat them all day. That means restrictions written so a supervisor can actually act on them, fewer unnecessary referrals, and a plan that does not turn a two-week recovery into a two-month claim.
Our clinicians see the same injuries your crews sustain: lifting strains on a job site, lacerations in food production, repetitive-motion complaints on a line.
After the first visit
Therapy and testing under one provider
Physical therapy, work conditioning, and functional capacity evaluations are ICA services, so recovery stays with the provider who treated the injury instead of scattering across vendors. Drug and alcohol testing and regulatory screenings run in the same visit where they apply.
When a case needs imaging or a specialist, we make the referral, follow up on the report, and stay the authorized treating provider of record. Nobody is left chasing paperwork between appointments.
We can help you get the transportation assistance you need for work-related injuries
Injury Care Associates provides free transportation to and from your job site for all work-related injuries.

Common questions
Common questions about work injury treatment
Colorado workers’ compensation questions we hear at the front desk. General information, not legal advice.
Do I need an appointment to be seen for a work injury?
No. Walk in at any of our four clinics Monday through Friday, 7am to 5pm. Calling ahead helps us have your employer information ready, but it is not required.
Who pays for my treatment?
On an accepted workers compensation claim, your employer insurer pays for authorized care. You should not be billed for treatment we are authorized to provide. Bring your claim number or the name of the insurer if you have it and we will handle the billing.
Can my employer make me see a specific doctor?
In Colorado your employer or their insurer gives you a written list of providers, and you choose your treating physician from that list. The list must offer at least four physicians or four corporate medical providers, or two of each, with at least one at a separate location under different ownership. This is general information about Colorado workers compensation, not legal advice.
Can I change to a different doctor?
Once. You give written notice on the Division of Workers Compensation form within 90 days of the injury and before you reach maximum medical improvement, and the new physician has to be on your employer list.
How soon do I have to tell my employer about the injury?
Within 10 days, in writing. Since August 2022 you do not lose compensation for reporting late if your employer already knew about the injury or there was good cause for the delay. Tell your supervisor as soon as you can and we will document the date at intake.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Photo ID, your employer name and contact, your claim number or insurer if a claim is already open, and a short account of how the injury happened. If you take regular medications, bring the list.
Will I be able to keep working?
Usually, in some form. You leave every visit with written work restrictions for your employer, so modified duty can start right away. Most people stay at work on restrictions rather than going off work entirely.
¿Hablan español? Do you have bilingual staff?
Yes. We have bilingual staff at our clinics, and this page is also available in Spanish.
