Can I use my own doctor for a work injury or illness?

For the first 90 days after you seek medical treatment, you must choose from your employer’s list of doctors. However, if your employer does not give you a list, you may be able to choose any physician you wish. Even if you choose a doctor from the employer’s list, you can potentially select another from the list if the first choice does not work for you. After the 90 days are up, you can choose any doctor you wish, with or without an employer list of recommended providers.
