Is an injured worker required to submit to an examination from a doctor selected by the Workers Compensation insurance company or the employer?
Yes. If an injured worker claims they are entitled to receive or are receiving benefits under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act, the Workers’ Compensation insurance company or employer is entitled to have the worker examined by a doctor of its own choosing at a reasonable time and place. The Workers’ Compensation insurance company or employer must pay for the exam. Failure to attend the examination could result in an interruption of benefits to the injured worker.
