[QUOTE="Jukkathebrown, post: 589854, member: 22037"] WC should pay for everything. I saw 7 diffrent docs and had 2 surgries tons fo OT and PT meds ect ect and WC paid for it all. You have the right to a second opinion. The easy way is to simple ask the UPS docs to reffer you to a specialist for a second opinion. You can also call the evil people at GB who will most likely handle your claim and tell them you want a second opinion and ask them for a list of doc in thier network. Remember the doctors you go to for UPS are just generel med docs. They do not specialize in anything. I know when the guy in the white coat say your going to be fine you want to believe him but its better to be sure and see a real doc who specializes in the type of injury you have. Also you may want to do it fast I think u only get 1 month of light duty at UPS before they put you out on disability WC. Trust me you dont want that. I went from 500 a week to 420 every two weeks. A good person to talk to is a your local shop stewart. He will know your basic rights. If you see a specialist and they tell you that you may have a more serious problem you may want to ask GB for a nurse case manager. These can really speed up paperwork and they can help you get the best doctors and the best care Good luck [/QUOTE]
