Once you report your injury to your supervisor or employer and contact Company Nurse, any care recommendations or medical treatment directions will be provided by the Nurse. In the event medical care is required, Company Nurse will direct you to seek medical attention.  The physicians must be aware this is a workers' compensation related injury. When doctors are not familiar with these requirements, it may delay benefits.

You are entitled to be treated by your own personal physician, if you have notified your employer, in writing, prior to the injury of your pre-designation selection. Your physician has to have actually served as your "personal" physician and/or surgeon and must agree to be pre-designated.
