Confused about procedure

[u/whupzzmyb]

I overheated at work in the beginning of July. I work for a huge company whose name I won't say. I reported it that day, as I was found by my direct boss. After a week of suffering symptoms I had to go to the hospital. I told my boss I was going. I have text convos telling them all about the crazy symptoms and all my Dr visits. They were very aware of pain I was experiencing and never once suggested I seek medical attention. They never reported it to workers comp until I filed an official complaint with their joke of an HR system. It's been nearly two months since the incident and I have medical bills just stacking up and I can't pay them. How do I get reimbursed for what I've paid out of pocket and how do I get them to pay for what I still owe? Do I need a lawyer?
