Your employer will provide you a list of approved medical providers. You must go to an approved provider unless it’s an emergency situation. If you prefer to use your own physician or a specialist not on the approved list, you can make a request to your employer and their insurance carrier to see another provider.
You must receive permission from your employer, their insurance carrier, or the Industrial Commission before you receive treatment from a provider who’s not approved, or you’re not guaranteed payment for treatment costs.
