Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Settling for future medical before surgery.

I am fed up with the workers comp doctors and agents. I would like to get away from them completely but I know I still need surgery in the future for carpal tunnel. I'm wondering if I should settle for future medical and If I do will my medical insurance require I use my settlement to pay for treatment before they pay?

Re: Settling for future medical before surgery.

You may try to settle your case with a Compromise and Release that includes future medicals. With a C & R, you are actually paid for the future medicals and you don't need to go back to the insurance companys' doctors.
