Well, I can verify that there are many ortho drs in my area that won't accept US Dept of Labor Worker's Comp patients. I'm concerned that if I ever have to have surgery, that being a work comp patient might not serve me well. Another car disregarded a yield sign and crashed into me, so his insurance has to pay all the bills, but I was at work so worker's comp is the default ruler over all treatment decisions. and I know why they were boycotting. Dept of Labor only pays between 20 and 40% of the charge. I'm embarrassed to go back.

AS you discovered, Workers Comp is not designed to help the injured worker. It is designed to protect the employer and the insurance Co. from costly litigation and expenses.
