Workers' Compensation Legislation 2011 -
2012

Medical Control

The injured employee has the right to choose his or her own treating
provider. The employee may select his/her own pharmacy or select a
pharmacy from the Express Scripts pharmacy network. Emergency medical
care does not require preapproval and should be secured at the nearest
location.

Out-Of-State Providers

The Review Board of the Department of Industrial Accidents issued a
decision on April 16, 1992, the Tedeschi case, which rules that out-of-state
providers are bound by the medical rates established by Division of Health
Care Finance and Policy.
