[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 324418, member: 484"] Feeder: Are you willing to be the one that pays your doctors visit out of your own pocket? Because you will if you insist on doing it your way. Your insurance will not pay for the visit, because it is worker comp, and worker comp will not pay for it because you refused to go to one of the panel that you are to choose from. So you get stuck with medical bills that you will have to pay for out of pocket. Or at the very least, it will take months or even years for your insurance to finally pay. Workers comp is very plain on this issue. You have a panel of 3 to choose from. You must go to one of the three on the panel. If your injury is to your back, then one of the docs on the list must be a chiropractor. So play by the book. If you disagree with what the doc recomends on your claim, then you do have a right to go to another doc on the list. Contrary to what has been posted here, Doctors are not paid off by UPS. They are not paid off by the insurance company. They are professionals that see injuries every day. And while many dont have a clue as to what the average driver goes through every day, they are rendering their best medical opinion as to your diagnosis and long term employability. Anything less opens them up to malpractice claims. So do as you like. But be prepared to pay the bill for your inabillity to follow instructions. d [/QUOTE]
