HOW DO I FIND A DOCTOR WHO CAN TREAT MY WORK INJURY
Some doctors are all about the insurance
reimbursements. Some doctors just aren’t very nice.
Others are wonderful people who work hard to do the right thing for
their patients.
Regrettably, many doctors or other medical providers hesitate to get
involved in the treatment of work injuries. This is particularly common
where the description of injury is improperly limited, where the claim
may be subject to dispute, or within the first ninety days of
treatment. This is an even more serious problem for injured workers who
have no other health insurance, or whose health insurance is through
the employer and subject to cancellation during a period of disability.
It is also common for many doctors to insist on treating only the
limited injury as defined by the employer, even if other serious
injuries are involved.
