Is an injured worker required to cooperate with a rehabilitation nurse retained by the Workers Compensation insurance company?
A. While there in nothing in the Kansas Workers’ Compensation Act that requires cooperation with a Nurse Case Manager, as a general rule, if you have a good relationship with the nurse case manager, you will receive better and uninterrupted medical care CAUTION: Seemingly innocent statements made by a worker to a rehabilitation nurse are forwarded to the insurance adjustor handling the claim. Such statements could have a negative affect on an injured worker’ claim, as well as, a potential recovery in a Third Party case.
