    Episode 324 – Firefighter PTSD Claims: What’s Blocking Treatment Approval?

    Firefighters are repeatedly exposed to traumatic events over the course of their careers — yet mental health treatment requests can still face delays or denials in many workers’ compensation systems. In this episode, Anique and Angela examine why firefighter PTSD claims are often more complex than they appear, including cumulative trauma challenges, documentation gaps, and RFA issues, and explain how providers can strengthen requests through clearer causation, functional impact, and defensible medical support.
