No. The law again requires you to select from the panel of physicians.
If you choose to see a doctor who is not listed on the panel of physicians, it can be considered unauthorized treatment, and workers’ compensation will not be responsible for any charges. When you are dissatisfied with your first selection, you can make one change to another physician within the posted panel.
Any further changes require approval from an Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG) claims examiner or the SBWC.
