Can I Change Doctors?
The insurance companies will send injured workers to doctors that provide favorable opinions for the insurance company. Unfortunately that usually results in slower care, reduced care, less benefits, and many times it means no benefits at all. However, an injured worker does not have to stay with the company doctor, workers have the right to select doctors.
It is important to see a doctor that is not working for the insurance company and against the worker. Insurance companies keep contracts with industrial clinics like Kaiser On The Job, Concentra, Immediate Medical and Proactive Care, and those doctors are under pressure from insurance companies so moving doctors is important.
We will help you find a doctor that cares about you more than keeping the insurance company happy, which is not only crucial to receive the best treatment, but also to obtain the records and evidence needed to get the most benefits.
Employer won't send you for the treatment you need?
What if the employer won't even provide a doctor? You have the right to see a doctor, if the employer isn't providing treatment as required we can help find the insurance company and a doctor that won't charge the inured worker for treatment.
Insurance company won't authorize treatment?
It is common for insurance companies to ignore or deny a doctor's request for authorization to provide patients with treatment, medication or diagnostic studies. If this happens to you then you need to be able to file in Court to get a judge to Order the insurance company to provide the treatment. If this has happened to you, see our page titled Work Comp Laws regarding the utilization review process and how to appeal to the Independent Medical Review when the insurance company denies treatment etc.
