It is important to try to get along with your doctor. However, if you have a major conflict with the doctor you are going to or you feel there is some need for additional or different medical treatment, it is necessary for us to get the approval of the workers' compensation carrier before you change doctors. We have no authority to choose doctors for you or to approve medical treatment. You must get in touch with us, and we will contact the insurance adjuster for approval to attempt to negotiate a change of physician. If the adjuster is unreasonable and refuses, we will file with the Industrial Commission a Motion for Change of Physician. The Industrial Commission has the last word as to what treatment you receive.
