CA has a dumb system for sure!! Even after you settle with Future Care all of your treatment has to be approved by the WC's Utilization Review (UR).
Jackie- I think you're atty would tell you that if anything is questionable in this AME report you may officially disagree. If you'd like to understand more on this w/o having to bother your busy(?) attorney you could definitely get an understanding from the book
California Workers' Comp: How to Take Charge When You're Injured on the Job here is the link

I am so sorry you have had such a terrible time on top of being injured. You have my sincerest hope that your case will be settled favorably in the near future. Please keep us posted!
