One of the medical benefits afforded to injured workers under Chapter 440 is the right to change authorized medical providers once during the course of a workers’ compensation claim. Such “onetime changes” are governed by Florida Statutes Section 440.13(2)(f), which sets forth the basic procedures for effectuating the same. However, in recent years, case law has clarified and resolved various issues not immediately clear form the black letter law. This seminar will cover what the statute and case law require to request a onetime change, the time frame for responding to the same, was well as which providers may be selected. Additionally, it will scrutinize the details of what suffices for an employer/Carrier’s “granting,” “authorizing,” and actually “providing” the new physician.
