Re: insurance
Workers' comp does not pay health insurance premiums--the two are unrelated. However, they should have paid all of the medical bills associated with your work injury rather than your health insurer. Once you return to work on regular duty, you're back on the payroll at your regular salary, and all normal deductions apply.
