Do I have the right to receive medical care?
If you want your medical treatment to be covered by the Workers’ Compensation Insurer (Carrier) make sure the doctor accepts cases from the specific Workers’ Compensation insurance company that covers the injury.
If the goal is to get Workers’ Compensation benefits and have the Carrier pay for the medical bills, then you will want to stay in the system of the Insurance Company.
In most cases, the Insurance Company has a Network of doctors that you should go to. If you are in the Network and want to change doctors, then call your adjuster and make that request. You should do it within 10 days. Be aware that changing doctors can be problematic.
