What if my employees want to designate their HMO primary care physician as their treating doctor?
The law allows the injured worker the right to use their primary treating physician under their HMO plan as their treating doctor for their workers’ compensation injury. The employee and their doctor must complete the “Pre-Designated Physician Form”. This form should be kept in the employee’s personnel file and submitted to the insurance carrier once an injury occurs.
