Fortunately, not all physicians have turned their backs on workers’ compensation recipients. If you are a member of an HMO, the best place to start is your primary care physician who may be able to refer you directly to a provider within the area of specialty that you need. You might also secure an appropriate referral from an emergency room. Probably the best source of information as to the availability of doctors who will treat patients under workers’ compensation is a qualified workers’ compensation attorney who deals with these issues on a daily basis and can probably provide you with a list of doctors who he or she knows will accept patients under the Workers’ Compensation Act.
