"Can I See My Own Doctor?"

Are you worried about seeing a different doctor?
 
Are you worried that if you see your doctor, your medical benefits may not be covered by workers comp?
 
How much of your settlement will cover your doctor bills?

These are very common questions, however every case is different. According to Colorado workers compensation laws Article 42 Sec 8-42-101, “Every employer, regardless of said employer's method of insurance, shall furnish such medical, surgical, dental, nursing, and hospital treatment, medical, hospital, and surgical supplies, crutches, and apparatus as may reasonably be needed at the time of the injury or occupational disease and thereafter during the disability to cure and relieve the employee from the effects of the injury.”
 
Also, immediately after you provide a written notice to your employer you’re provided with a list of doctors that provide treatment for injured workers. However, if for some reason you are dissatisfied with your first doctor you’re allowed to choose your own doctor within the first 90 days of filing.
