Diagnostic Testing Choice

S 29 Section 13a (7) of the approved Workers' Compensation Reform Law strips injured workers from their rights.
(Section 25 (7)(A) of the Bill)

If you are injured on the job, you no longer have the right to choose your diagnostic medical testing provider. Insurance companies now have the power to tell you who will provide tests, such as MRIs and X-rays, to analyze the cause or nature of your condition.

If this law is not amended:

• You will be forced to forfeit trusted relationships you have built with providers and facilities
• Assigned providers could be prejudiced in favor of the Workers' Compensation insurance carriers and may unfairly represent your interests before a judge.
• You could be forced to go back to work while still injured and use your private insurance to treat persistent work-related injury.
• Your co-payments and deductibles will increase

PatientChoiceNY.org urges you to stand up for your rights that are being stripped away by the insurance conglomerates.
