The Utah Labor Commission - Division of Industrial Accidents, acting on complaints that adjusters have incorrectly advised injured workers that they do not have the right to see medical providers outside of their employer’s PPO, has issued a bulletin (Bulletin# 6-2011) emphasizing that the existing law does, in fact, permit an injured worker to choose a medical provider outside of the PPO, provided he or she initially received treatment within the PPO.
