The short answer to that question is usually.  In Minnesota, unless you’re under a certified, managed care program, you have the ability to choose your doctor.  Once you have established treatment plan with that doctor, it’s harder to pick and choose to a different doctor.  So that first choice of doctor, your primary doctor for the work injury ins an important choice that can have long-lasting effects throughout your claim and your injury.

If you’re part of a certified managed care program, the insurance company will tell you that.  And they have a little bit more control over where you can and where you can’t go to treatment.

Minnesota Workers’ Compensation attorney, Dana Gerber, discusses whether or not you can choose your own doctor if injured at work.
