Can an employee select another treating doctor from the network if the employee is dissatisfied with my services?
A. Under HB 7, an employee who is dissatisfied with his or her initial treating doctor has the right to select an alternate treating doctor from the network’s list of treating doctors who provide services in the employee’s service area. The employee must notify the network in the manner prescribed by the network. The network may not deny the selection of an alternate treating doctor who is within the network. An employee who is unhappy with the alternate treating doctor must get approval from the network to make additional treating doctor changes.
