If an injured employee needs emergency medical treatment, they should dial 911 or seek treatment at the closest emergency facility. In the case of a non-emergency workplace injury, employees are required to visit a designated initial treatment provider. If the injured employee chooses not to visit the designated initial treatment provider or treats outside the Workers’ Compensation provider network, they may risk suspension of their benefits per order of the Workers’ Compensation Commission. The injured employee may choose an attending physician AFTER the initial visit from the State of CT Workers’ Compensation provider network.
