It probably is just for an evaluation. You could call the drs office and ask, it might be good to know due to the comp claim involved.

I don't know how Virginia comp is, but Oregon wc - when I was in it anyway , generally we could choose a dr of our choice or make a change a few times - but had to be approved by wc.

Does your family dr know of the wc claim and is billing under it or your private medical?
It can get confusing with the previous personal injury follow ups as well as the new work injury.

I do suggest searching out some of the better work comp attys, and some are better than others, check out the offices/staff - do they look/act professional or not organized...? big flag right there.

I learned that after the fact.
Generally same with PT, and other treatment providers, if they seem disorganized/not professional - look elsewhere.
