Work-Related Injuries
Work-related injuries are subject to specific rules and regulations under Pennsylvania’s Act 44, which went into effect in 1993. Understanding these guidelines is essential for proper care and compliance.
Key Points to Know
- Panel of Physicians:
- Your employer is required to display a "Panel of Physicians" in a clearly visible location at your workplace.
- This panel lists the physicians you are allowed to see for the first 90 days following your injury.
- You must select a provider from this panel for treatment during this initial period—no exceptions.
- After 90 Days:
- If you are still experiencing symptoms after the first 90 days, you are free to choose and treat with any physician of your choice.
