Do you have your own treating dr? [/B]
one with your interest at heart not a wc dr.
BUT-  I am not a wc pro,
If you are in great pain- I think you can seek treatment and have it put down as a wc claim treatment and let the chips get sorted out later...
Check your state website for the workers comp division and check thru our sticky above the main threads here.
I would find a way to get a hold of your atty first, he should be able to guide you with how to deal with the HR dept.
HR dept is more on the side of protecting the company and they side more with the wc ins carrier to keep rates lower.
I learned that the hard way - don't talk to HR very much until you talk with your wc atty. |
I have a doctor for the spine thru workman's comp however my attorney, has mentioned my symptoms are not that of a spine dr. My neck and arms are in pain. I cannot open a bottle or at times move my hand that I have terrible pain. Urgent care has been my referral and they are terrible to me. Impatient unkind and rude. I'm treated as though I'm a criminal. Like I'm abusing the system. I'm not sure as to what dr to see. I suppose I will go to Urgent care. As they have access to my files. Thank you for your reply it is most appreciated.
