You have the right under the workers' compensation law to change physicians it has to be another physician on the panel posted at your employer though..You can try that route and see if the new physician will help you out in that regard as far as further treatment and giving you an impairment rating. That is all they are going to pay you for if there is a "rating" provided by the doctor, but if no rating then they will be no further compensation, as far as your medical bills are concerned though, they would continue to pay them as long as you are treating with an " authorized treating physician" either the physician that you are with now or the new physician if you chose to change....

Hope this helps..
