[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1587095"] See your own doctor immediately. Go to the UPS doctor only if required, and then only after you see your own. It will be harder for the UPS doctor to disagree with the diagnosis/treatment prescribed by your doctor if you already saw your own. Make it clear you are not accepting treatment from the UPS doctor, you will use your own. Once you see a doctor 2 times in a row without a visit to a different one you have "chosen" that doctor. So see your own first, then if they make you see theirs, see yours before another visit to the UPS doc. Make sure your manager reports the injury and ask for a copy of the injury report. Let me warn you, around here UPS will send you to a "specialist". This particular doctor is known by all the workers comp lawyers as the doctor they use specifically to deny claims and/or treatment. You have been warned... If you use the UPS doctor he has split loyalties, and UPS pays the bills, so guess who he is most loyal to? You want a doctor who only cares about getting you healed, not one who is pressured to send you back to work before you are ready, or who denies procedures because of cost. We have had MANY such cases. Also do not let the manager wait for you at the doctor or set up a meeting between the manager,you, and the doctor. Go to the doctor yourself and don't let the manager interfere with your care. [/QUOTE]
