Whether you can begin before your claim is formally approved depends on your employer’s insurance policy and your state. Some carriers authorize evaluation and initial treatment quickly while the broader claim is still under review. Others require approval first.

This is precisely the kind of thing you should not have to figure out alone. Send us your claim number, your adjuster’s name and contact details, and your carrier at insurance@movement-x.com, and we will verify exactly what is authorized before you are on the hook for anything.
