Legal Question in Workers Comp in Virginia

Re: change of doctors

Dear Sir:

First, you should ask the retiring doctor to refer you to someone; Second, the insurance company can suggest someone; and third, you can ask the Virginia Workers Compensation for a doctor.

If the insurance comany wants to give you the new doctor, all you can do to protect yourself against getting an insurance doctor is asking for a panel of three doctors. You do have a right to this.
