Workers : Workers comp cases in most states need to go through a separate review process called utilization review. In addition the case manager or claims reviewer needs to approve it and they need to have some other physican who will agree to do the second opinion appointment. Its can be frustrating but keep in touch with the physician you saw and try to get in touch with the claims adjuster or case manager. Sometimes a friendly call and reminder may get things expedited.
