What can I do about follow-up treatment or evaluations for accepted workers’ comp claims?
The employee has the right to any follow-up treatment or evaluation ordered by a physician. They will be paid mileage to and from the doctor’s office. If the employee has returned to work and has treatment or an evaluation, you can request that he/she schedule the treatment at the beginning or ending of a shift to reduce disruption to the work site. The employee will not receive a temporary disability payment for treatment or a follow-up evaluation unless the treatment requires that the employee miss his/her entire normal work shift.
