Workers Comp Attorneys In Atlanta - Your Medical Benefits
Under Georgia workers' compensation law, employers are required to maintain a posted panel of physicians and provide employees injured on the job with medical treatment. If your employer does not maintain a list of its own doctors, or if their list does not meet the requirements set forth by law, you may be eligible to see a doctor of your own choosing. You may also be entitled to an independent medical evaluation by a doctor you select. When you are injured on the job, your employer is required to pay for 100% of your medical expenses and treatment. This includes:
