Who decides where an injured employee receives medical treatment?
A. The employer is responsible for arranging medical treatment for the first 30 days from the date of injury. If, prior to an injury or illness, an employee gives written notice to the employer selecting a personal physician, then the employee may go to this physician for treatment immediately after an injury.
