053-10 Wyo. Code R. §§ 10-5 - Biological or Chemical Exposure Injury
The Division shall pay for the laboratory testing of any specimen collected from the body of an injured worker in order to determine his exposure to biological or chemical agents in covered employment, if such tests are ordered by the treating health care provider.
(a) If medical emergency response personnel
determine that an injured worker should be treated in a hospital emergency
room, the Division will pay for ambulance transportation from the place of
exposure to the nearest hospital.
(b) The Division shall pay for
hospitalization of the injured worker, subsequent to his receipt of treatment
in an emergency room, if it is determined by the treating physician that
in-patient confinement is necessary to establish the existence and extent of
exposure, and to diagnose the effects of the exposure.
(i) Except to the extent expressly provided,
nothing in this section shall relieve a worker of the burden to prove the
elements of an "injury" as defined by W.S. §
27-14-102(a)(xi).
