No one can force you to do anything or have any procedure performed on you that you don't want to. If anyone tells you different, that's grounds for legal action.
Having said that, if a procedure is recommended in order to improve your condition and you refuse treatment, the insurance company can cease to pay for your medical care, citing the fact that you don't want any further care. It's a method of boxing you in to get you to do what they want you to do on their terms. Suggesting that you undergo a procedure that they know you'll refuse is also a way of getting you to refuse so they don't have to pay you anymore also, which is unethical as hell.
In such cases your best bet is to hire a workman's comp lawyer. In fact, if you don't have one you should anyway, as workman's comp agencies are notorious for not paying up. But they rarely fight a good lawyer. If they're pressuring you to undergo a procedure you don't want to do, you're better off letting a lawyer tell them that you don't want to on your behalf.

If you use your hands for work as a tattoo artist and injure your hand in a non-job related incident and cannot use it temporarily is there insurance that can cover lost wages while your hand recovers?
You may qualify for temporary disability or Worker's Compensation Benefits. Get a lawyer. Worker's Compensation lawyers don't charge you unless they win you money and then it is taken out of your payments. A Worker's Compensation attorney will tell you if they think you have a good chance of winning some money from Worker's Comp insurance. If your company does not have worker's comp insurance then I think they have to pay. Best thing to do is consult a Worker's Compensation attorney, it won't cost you anything to just consult them and they will give you sound advise and take your case if they think you have one. I didn't think I had a case because my job discourages reporting injuries and I did not report my injury right away. But the attorney told me he thought I had a case and I did. I now receive worker's compensation for a back injury I did at work and I need surgery. Also, make sure you see a doctor and have him determine your degree of disability. If you don't see a doctor or have a doctors report, you have no proof you are disabled. I lost some money because I had a lapse in doctor reports. You have to go every 45 days and even though I was disabled before and after according to Dr. reports, I lost money for the period I did not have one.

What are the benefits of social security disability?
So sorry about your fall. It sounds like your situation may not be as simple as just getting on Social Security. Because you fell while working, you may be denied SS and be told that you need to file a Worker's Compensation claim instead.The first thing to do is to contact a law firm that handles Social Security benefits. Most of these lawyers handle Worker's Compensation claims as well, They will ask you the right questions and determine what route you need to take. You do not need to give the lawyers any money-if you have a winning case, they will get a certain percentage of your back payments, since can take many months to be approved.
