WSI does encourage employers to escort their employees to the doctor. Unfortunately, we cannot dictate whether or not the doctor is open to them. Very seldom is an employer allowed in the actual examination room but many times the doctor will take a few minutes to visit with them following the actual appointment. If there is a particular doctor that poses problems our WSI provider relations manager will offer to provide education for medical providers regarding the importance of the employer involvement.
