I'm often asked the question do I have to treat with the company doctor like my employer
told me? I always say that's one of the biggest lies in Workers' Compensation. I'm an attorney
with Gallon, Takacs, Boissoneault and Schaffer and my name is Marilyn Levine. I always tell
them that in Ohio you have free choice of physicians. Just because your employer says
"we only use this occupational health facility or this doctor" you do not have to have to
treat with that doctor. You may be required to go to that facility to get a drug test,
if that's your employers policy but you do not have to treat with that physician. You
can choose your own physician as long as they are Bureau of Workers' Compensation certified
you are able to treat with whichever physician you choose.
