2582.3     CHANGING PHYSICIANS 
(REVISED  3/96) 

If an employee has not notified the agency that he/she wishes to be treated by a personal physician, the department has the right to direct the employee's medical treatment.  If during this period the employee desires to change physicians, the employee should contact SCIF to see if a change can be accomplished.  After 30 days if treatment continues, the injured worker, with certain reasonable limitations, can choose whatever physician or facility is desired.  The employee must notify SCIF of the name and address of the physician or facility selected.
