Re: physcian choices
The answer to your question is PROBABLY yes. I say probably because an injured worker has a choice to choose his/her treating physicians unless there is a Certified Workplace Medical Plan in place. Additionally, an insurance company may send you to a physician at any time for evaluation purposes at their cost. However, you may choose your physician in most other circumstances. Please feel free to contact me at (918) 227-4009, or [email protected] anytime that you want any further clarification. Additionally, you should contact your attorney if you have any questions. If you have no attorney, you probably should since it sounds like you have a more serious injury with a neurosurgeon being involved. Thanks for your question.
