Can Your Employer Choose Your Workers' Comp Doctor?
Many Durham workers ask whether they control medical treatment. In most North Carolina workers' compensation cases, the employer or insurance carrier directs the initial authorized treating physician.
However, options may exist to:
- Request a second opinion
- Seek a change of physician
- Address a medical dispute through the NC Industrial Commission
Understanding doctor choice rules reduces confusion and helps protect treatment continuity.
