i had only minor injuries which healed but they said the insurance
company is considering payment and its not definite that they would pay the bill even though its work related

Re: injured at hospital
You should bring any bill you get to your company's personnel office and have them submit the bill to your company's workers compensation insurer. Workers compensation should cover this bill since it is for a work related injury.
