Judge erred in not considering employer/carrier’s request for expert medical adviser once claimant’s one-time change choice of physician was rendered an authorized treating provider, thereby creating a conflict with the prior physician.

After the claimant suffered a compensable accident, the employer/carrier authorized Dr. Rosabald to treat her. Doctor Rosabald indicated that surgery was not necessary and released the claimant to return to work. What’s Hot in Workers’ Comp is prepared by Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggi
