DON'T TAKE AWAY MY DOCTOR!

If you have a doctor you like and he is providing you with helpful medical care you need, some unscrupulous insurance companies will try to get you away from that doctor over to a doctor who will do what they want him to do. That is, provide you with limited "conservative care" and release you to full duty with no restrictions even thought you are still having problems. Once that happens, the insurance company will cut off your benefits.

Many times after that happens, the employee will try to go back to work and get fired . That puts the employee on the street with no income, a medical issue and a doctor who does not want to see him. What could be worse.

Do not allow the insurance company to get you away from a good doctor who is intereted in helping you and what is best for you. If the insurance company is trying to get you away from a doctor that is helping you or if the insurance company has already gotten you over to a doctor who is not addressing the issues you are discussing with him, I would recommend getting a lawyer involded to represent your rights.
