Police officers who have sustained a work injury, such as a suspect assault or motor vehicle accident are faced with a complex system that can be a maze. After an injury, a primary concern is receiving prompt medical treatment so that the officer can return back to work. All too often, however, medical treatment benefits are stymied for officers, prolonging the off duty status and creating further uncertainty in their future. This article will provide a guide for the medical treatment benefits in the workers' compensation process.

When an officer sustains a work injury, the agency must provide medical treatment that will cure and relieve the effects of the injury. Labor Code �4600 outlines the employer's obligations to provide prompt medical treatment.

The plain language of the �4600 is clear--the employer must timely provide and authorize medical treatment. Unfortunately, in 2004 the medical treatment benefits experienced significant changes under the Workers' Compensation reform bills by then--Governor Schwarzenegger.                 

Now, the injured officer must select physicians within the employer Medical Provider Network (MPN). The MPN will identify a number of treating physicians by specialty in the surrounding geographic area of where the officer resides. It is important to determine who the good treating physicians are on the MPN list. If the officer has no predesignated treating physician, the injured officer will be forced into locating a treating physician within the network.

On the other hand, if the officer predesignates a primary treating physician (PTP), the officer can avoid the MPN. An officer may be treated for an industrial injury by a personal physician that was predesignated prior to the industrial injury if the following three conditions are met: (1) Notice of the pre-designation of a personal physician is in writing, and (2) is provided to the agency prior to the industrial injury for which treatment by the personal physician is sought. Lastly, the notice shall include the personal physician's name and business address. Click to Read More
