Medical Control
The employer has the right to direct the injured employee to the initial medical provider for
non-emergency treatment. After the initial treatment, the injured employee may select another
medical provider but must give the employer written notice of the reason(s) for dissatisfaction
with the initial medical provider as well as the name and address of the employee's selected
provider. The employer may refuse to reimburse the injured employee's selected provider if this
notice is not given. 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.
