The injured employee may select a treating provider who is authorized by the Worker's
Compensation Board for any non-emergency treatment. An employer who utilizes a Certified
Preferred Provider Organization may require the injured employee to obtain medical treatment from a
physician who is participating in the Certified Preferred Provider Organization. If diagnostic tests are
recommended, the employer/insurer may require that they be obtained from a diagnostic network.
Written notice is required when a diagnostic network must be utilized. 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.
