Posted Panel of Physicians
The Posted Panel of Physicians is published by the State Board of Workers’ Compensation listing Physicians that may be used in the event of a work-related accident. The panel must be posted in a conspicuous place, at all locations, for all employees to see and read.
Effective January 1, 2002, the panel is required to maintain six physicians. At least one physician must perform orthopedic surgery. No more than two industrial clinics can be listed on your panel. Whenever feasible, one minority physician must be listed.
You are responsible for contacting the posted physicians on a quarterly basis to ensure the panel remains valid. Please verify the providers continue to accept workers’ compensation patients, are in the same practice and that the correct addresses and phone numbers are posted on the panel.
If you would like to replace or add a physician to your panel, please contact Karen Sprouse at 800/507-4622 with your request.
When you replace your panel, always keep the old panel in a file with the date you took it down for reference on prior claims.
