can i go to another dr while on worker comp

If you seek treatment that is not authorized by the comp carrier through your panel physician, you are usually responsible for payment of those bills. You should speak with your nurse case manager or adjuster first to seek to have the treatment approved. If your panel doctor recommended the treatment and it was denied, or if the treatment was medically necessary treatment for your work injury and was denied, you should speak with an attorney. Your personal opinion that the panel physician is not sufficient for the treatment to be compensable; a medical opinion (in writing) will be required for contested treatment.
