No. There is no provision in our workers’ compensation law that requires that you cooperate with a so-called “medical management nurse.” Not only can you stop the nurse from coming to the doctor with you, but you are completely within your rights to tell the nurse not to work on your case anymore. Sometimes these nurses are helpful in securing access to doctors, medication, or medical appliances. However, some unscrupulous nurses will attempt to interfere with the doctor-patient relationship, and may go so far as to misrepresent certain important facts about the availability of light-duty work and so forth in an effort to persuade your doctor to release you from care before the doctor would ordinarily do so. A nurse who is inclined to do this is not working in your best interest and should be discharged.
