Possibly. When an employee fails to comply with pre-agreed terms (having the drug testing), it may be possible for them to deny payment for treatment. I think the bigger question is why you are refusing to have it done.
The hospital/doctor ect. can not refuse to give you treatment for a work related injury or any other injury for that matter..However your employer can refuse to pay for your treatment if you refuse a drug screen and then you will be responsible for the cost on your own.They can also immediately terminate your employment for refusal to submit for a drug screen. By refusing a drug screen for a work related injury you can lose all claims for any workers compensation..However If you test positive for the use of drugs or alcohol your employer can also terminate you and refuse to pay for your treatment.
If you test positive for drugs or alcohol you may also lose all claims to workers compensation.being that you were under the influence and the accident was a direct result of your deliberate and willful impairment.
So either taking or refusing the drug screen can have the same end results if you were using drugs/alcohol at the time of the accident..

∙ 14y agoA drug test is not required if you have informed your job or your P.O. before you are tested as long as your honest about what your taking and how much. If you tell them after the fact it could cause suspition but if its a prescription then no worrys.

Do you have an OSHA recordable if employee fails drug test?
Yes.Question 7-9 If an employee who sustains a work-related injury requiring days away from work is terminated for drug use based on the results of a post-accident drug test, how is the case recorded? May the employer stop the day count upon termination of the employee for drug use under section 1904.7(b)(3) (vii)?Under section 1904.7(b)(3)(vii), the employer may stop counting days away from work if an employee who is away from work because of an injury or illness leaves the company for some reason unrelated to the injury or illness, such as retirement or a plant closing. However, when the employer conducts a drug test based on the occurrence of an accident resulting in an injury at work and subsequently terminates the injured employee, the termination is related to the injury. Therefore, the employer must estimate the number of days that the employee would have been away from work due to the injury and enter that number on the 300 Log.

Are on the job injuries covered by workers compensation if the accident was my fault?
Most on-the-job injuries are covered, regardless of fault. The workers� compensation system is designed to provide benefits to injured workers, even if an injury is caused by the employer's carelessness or the employee's own carelessness (if the employee tripped because of clumsiness or was not paying attention while operating heavy equipment, for example). Mere carelessness or even recklessness is rarely enough to take the claim out of the realm of workers� comp. Coverage may be denied in situations involving self-inflicted injuries, injuries suffered while an employee is committing a crime or injuries suffered when an employee's conduct violated company policy, like a policy against drug use or drinking on the job.
Can you be fired for a positive drug test when the company has no written drug policy?
