If your hurt on the job in Texas can you see own doctor or do have to company doctor?
If you are hurt on the job in Texas, you can choose to see either your own doctor or a doctor chosen by your employer. However, there are some exceptions to this rule:- If your employer has an on-site medical facility, you must see the company doctor first.
- If your employer has a preferred provider organization (PPO), you can only see a doctor that is in the PPO.
- If your employer has a managed care organization (MCO), you can only see a doctor that is in the MCO.
These exceptions do not apply if your injury is serious enough that you require immediate medical attention. In such cases, you can go to any doctor or hospital that is located in a reasonable geographic area and that is equipped to handle your condition.
If you have any questions about your rights and obligations under Texas workers' compensation law, you should contact a workers' compensation attorney.
