The short answer is yes. You can see your own doctor for treatment. The PA WC provides that the employer can direct your treatment for the first 90 days from the injury. Thus, they could deny payment if you treat outside the panel of physicians directed by the employer. If they deny the case or after 90 days, you can treat with your own physician. You may want to consult with your attorney, as they should be able to let you know if the doctor will testify on your behalf and/or if they will wait for payment while your case is in litigation. - John O'Donnell
