What if I choose to keep the doctor?
Even if your work comp doctor has released you, you may continue to see your doctor for follow-ups, but you have to pay a $10.00 copay every visit per FS 440.13(13)(c). Per FS 440.19(2), you MUST see your work comp doctor at least once per year (but we recommend twice per year) in order to keep your case open, otherwise you will have violated the Statute of Limitations (“SOL”) and you will be forever barred from receiving benefits on your case again.
