This should not be used as a substitute for competent legal advice from a licensed professional attorney in your state.Medical Treatment under Georgia Workers' CompensationThe Good News:Unlike most situations with cash benefits, your medical benefits are basically never-ending. In other words, once you have an "accepted" claim, one in which your employer or their insurer has paid you income benefits or has paid for your medical treatment, your employer owes you treatment related to that injury for as long as it takes to cure you, provide relief, or restore you to suitable employment. This obligation could go on for your entire life depending on the injury.The Bad News:Your medical information in workers' compensation is not confidential. Your employer and their insurance company will likely receive a copy of your medical information relating to your work injury. Also, the employer/insurer may not be required to pay for medical treatment from unauthorized doctors.What doctors/hospitals/clinics can I receive treatment from?Maybe the tightest held secret in workers' compensation is that your employer is required to and likely has posted somewhere in the deep recesses of your workplace a document called a "Panel of Physicians." This document must contain a list of six doctors or facilities with whom you have the right to seek treatment at your employer's expense. At least one doctor will need to be a licensed orthopedic surgeon. Orthopedics specialize in chronic and traumatic injuries to the body. However, your employer will likely encourage you to go to an industrial clinic for treatment of your injuries. Know that even after visiting this clinic you still have the right to choose to see an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in injuries like yours.If your employer fails to post this "Panel" or does not allow you to select a doctor from this list they forfeit any control over who you receive medical treatment from. In other words, if you have a compensable work injury, your employer will be stuck paying for any doctor you choose to treat your injuries. For that reason your employer has probably unceremoniously placed this very important document on a wall in a break room next to seldom read minimum wage information, state/federal permits or business licenses, and safety information.Once you have identified your employer's panel of physicians, take clear a picture of it (many people even have cell phone cameras that can do this). If you have the chance, take it down and make a photocopy of it. If no panel of physicians exits, take a photo of the area in which legal notices are hung where no panel is posted.If I don't like my doctor, can I get a new one? An employee is entitled to make one change in treating physicians from one physician to another on the same panel of physicians without any special authorization. Aside from picking a new doctor from your employer's panel you will likely need to have the employer agree to a change. If your employer refuses to allow a change outside the panel of physicians you may make a request to the State Board of Compensation and petition them to allow a change in physicians. This request is make using State Board of Workers' Compensation form WC-200b .Additionally, if you are receiving any income benefits from your employer, you have the right to one independent examination (known as an IME) by a physician of your choosing at your employer's expense. While this doctor will not become your regular physician, if their opinion differs from your regular doctor it may provide a new direction for your treatment or support a claim for a change of physicians.Unfortunately, your employer is not limited to one request for an IME and may require you to go to as many independent medical evaluations (IMEs) as they wish to pay for. Failing to attend IME appointments may result is the suspension of your benefits until such time as you attend the appointment.Reimbursement of mileage expensesYour employer is likely in no hurry to tell you,<a href="http://www.burberrybagsoutleti.com" target="_blank" class="postlink">burberry bags outlet</a>, but they are required to compensate you for your medically related travel costs. With gas prices as high as they are, your travel expenses may be more considerable than you think. Your employer must compensate you at the rate 40 cents per mile traveled from your home to: your doctor's office, physical therapy,<a href="http://www.christianlouboutinsale5.com" target="_blank" class="postlink">christian louboutin discount</a>, the pharmacy, and any other place of examination or treatment.If you are required to travel away from your home city, the employer may also be responsible for the cost of meals and lodging.I encourage you to keep an accurate log of all your mileage and submit it to your employer/insurer each month. If you never submit a mileage log for reimbursement you will never receive compensation for all the gas you burn up as a result of your injuries.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
