FAQS Background

Do I have to receive treatment with my employer’s panel physician for 90 days if injured on the job?

If your employer requires you to treat with their panel physician for 90 days, 3 requirements MUST be met:

  1. You (the injured worker) must sign an acknowledgement, on your date of hire, that you have received a written list of panel physicians.
  2. A list of panel physicians must be displayed in a prominent and readily accessible area of your workplace.
  3. You must sign another acknowledgement regarding panel physicians on the day you report your work injury.
