If you dispute the diagnosis or treatment prescribed by your primary treating physician, you can get a second or third opinion. Continue receiving treatment from your physician while you go through the process. Be aware that you waive your right to get a second opinion if you do not make an appointment within 60 days of getting the list of doctors in your Medical Provider Network. If you decide to get a second or third opinion, it is your responsibility to do the following: Inform your physician that you dispute their diagnosis or treatment either orally or in writing; Select a new physician from your Medical Provider Network; Make an appointment with the new physician within 60 days; and Inform your current physician of the appointment date. It is your workers’ compensation insurance’s responsibility to:  Provide you a list of physicians from your Medical Provider Network; Inform you of your right to request copies of your medical records to send to the “2nd opinion” physician; Contact your current physician so the current physician can provide copies of your medical records to you or your second-opinion physician before the appointment; and Please let (in writing) know that your new doctor has been chosen to provide a second opinion and why the first opinion is being disputed. If they deem it appropriate, the physician will write a report offering an alternate diagnosis/treatment or stating why they agree with the first diagnosis. Copies of the report will be provided to you, your workers’ compensation insurance, and your current treating physician within 20 days of the appointment. If you disagree with the diagnosis or treatment plan after receiving your second opinion, you may seek a third opinion from a physician in your Medical Provider Network. The process of seeking a third opinion is the same. If you disagree with the third physician’s statement, you can file for an Independent Medical Review.
