Do I have to post an employees right to choose his or her own doctor for treatment of a W.C. injury illness?
Yes. Employers are required to post this right. Failure to post results in the employer’s loss of medical control of the workers compensation case. An employer with a Medical Provider Network (MPN) would otherwise have practically unlimited medical control if the employee has not predesignated his or her own doctor, Likewise, an employer without an MPN would have 30 days of medical control in the absence of the employee’s predesignation.
