[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 334807, member: 13254"] Seal Go back and re-read New Englander's post, it says volumes about what happens when you allow it to happen. I suggest you get into contact with your states workers comp board, talk with them about YOUR legal rights and responsibilities. The company relies on us not knowing what they can and can not do with us in this situation. The next sentence will be in caps only to stress importance. [U][B]YOU AND YOU ALONE HAVE THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT DOCTOR YOU GO TO FOR PRIMARY CARE, NOT THE COMPANY, NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANY.[/B][/U] YOU. Now having said that, there are doctors that do not accept worker comp cases, but that should be your only snag on doc choice. Also, the company and the insurance have to right to have you see another doc for second opinions, but for primary care, nope. Don't try to be the nice guy, the one that wants to make things better for the boss, the favor will not be returned. Talk to others in your center that have been on comp, talk to your union steward and BA. Do not take anything the management tells you at face value, your health is too important to let them mess with. I may be wrong, but I don't think they can "instruct" you to do anything when you are off the clock. [/QUOTE]
