Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
the insurance company set a appointment for me to see their doctor. But the appointment is not for another 6 months. Am i entitled to have them set up appointment sooner. this case has been open for three years now?

I am sure that your appointment is for either an AME or a PQME. Either way, it can take up to six months to get into the doctor, or, even longer. Work comp cases can easily take 3 or more years to resolve. There is often plenty of litigation associated with workers' comp, and if your case is denied, it is often more complex, and requires more litigation.
Good luck.
