Workers Compensation Clinic in Chicago | Loop Medical Center
If you were injured at work or in an auto accident in Chicago, two things matter right away: getting the right treatment and making sure your case is properly documented. Loop Medical Center handles both. Dr. Nidal Elbaridi, a interventional pain physician with over 20 years of experience, evaluates and treats work injuries and auto accident patients at our South Loop and Streeterville locations. You pay nothing out of pocket. We work directly with your attorney and collect payment when your case settles.
You Pay Nothing Out of Pocket
The first question most patients ask is what this will cost them.
For Workers Compensation and Personal Injury cases, the answer is nothing. Loop Medical Center treats patients
under a Letter of Protection. That means:
No payment required upfront
No bills during treatment
Payment is collected directly from your settlement
Your attorney coordinates the financial side
Call (312) 414-1088 and tell us your case involves a work injury or accident. We will handle the rest.
How the Process Works
Call us directly. Same-week scheduling available. Dr. Elbaridi evaluates your injuries and orders any necessary imaging. Treatment begins immediately. No waiting for insurance approval. We document everything your attorney needs throughout treatment. When your case settles, payment is collected from the settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
I already have an attorney. Do I call Loop Medical Center or does my attorney?
Either works. Many patients call directly and connect us with their attorney afterward. Others come through an attorney referral. We work with both.
Do I need a referral for a work injury evaluation?
No. Call (312) 414-1088 directly. Prior authorization required.
What if I do not have an attorney yet?
We can still begin treatment. We will document everything your attorney needs once you retain one.
What does Letter of Protection mean?
A Letter of Protection is an agreement between Loop Medical Center, you, and your attorney that treatment fees will be paid from your settlement or verdict. You receive care now and pay nothing until the case resolves.
Is Workers Compensation different from a Personal Injury case?
Yes, but Loop Medical Center handles both. Workers Compensation covers on-the-job injuries coordinated through your employer's insurer. Personal Injury cases typically involve auto accidents and are resolved through a lawsuit or settlement. The treatment process at Loop is the same for both.
If you were injured at work or in an accident, do not wait. Delays in treatment can affect both your recovery and
your case.
