A: You are entitled to treat with a doctor of your choosing as long as the doctor is willing to accept payment under the workers' compensation fee schedule. If you haven't talked to a workers' compensation attorney yet, it may be a good time to have one represent you. There are certain circumstances that you will need to see the insurance company Doctor but this should be discussed with an attorney.
