Mistakes to AVOID When Visiting a Georgia Workers' Compensation Doctor

Описание: What mistakes must you avoid when you speak to your workers’ compensation doctor?

As I have discussed in many prior videos - and you probably know this already - workers’ compensation doctors do NOT always have your best interest at heart. Does that surprise you?

Many “posted panel” doctors get most or all of their business from workers’ compensation INSURANCE COMPANIES so you can be sure that the treatment they offer you and the reports they produce will FAVOR the interests of the insurance company.

Did you know that??

Further, you can be sure that the insurance adjuster will not be shy about calling your doctor to PRESSURE the doctor to return you to work full duty, to AVOID ordering tests and to avoid giving you work restrictions.

Anything the workers compensation doctor does to help you will be done with reluctance and against what the insurance company payment source wants.

So what do you do?

As I discuss in this video, I advise and instruct my clients to speak up and firmly report the important facts of their cases.

We practice how to give a detailed description of what happened
We practice describing each and every body part that is hurt
We practice how to talk about pain, numbness and other symptoms
I direct my clients to look closely at any work restrictions or follow up orders received and to knock on the receptionist’s window if the paperwork is not complete

If it sounds like I want my clients to play hardball with the workers’ compensation doctor, you are correct. And I help them every step of the way!

I know that nothing good happens if you don’t stand up for yourself in meetings with the doctor, and I give my clients specific guidance about how to advocate for themselves.

If you are concerned that the insurance company provided doctor is setting you up to be railroaded, or just want to get ahead of this, pick up the phone and call me today at 1-770-351-0801 to get a Free Evaluation of Your Case from me. Don't delay! You have rights!!
