I believe you get to choose from a panel of 3 doctors or at least that’s how workers comp is handled where I work. Now you will have to ask for this. They won’t offer it. A workers comp lawyer is really the only way you will be able to deal with them if it’s gotten that bad. Yes they will take a little money in the end. 10% around these parts. There’s laws saying what they can take. I don’t know if it’s federal or state determined.
