Yes, but I can't think of a situation where it would be preferable to do so. Feel free to call and discuss.

If the injury you are treated for is related to a work injury then your health insurance will not pay for it, & it would be improper for your doctor to submit it to the health insurance co. Why would you not want to use worker's comp?
