78 general surgery workers' comp doctors accepting new patients.
General Surgery providers treat injured workers whose claims involve their specialty's body systems or conditions. In workers' compensation cases, these specialists evaluate work-related injuries, document findings for the claim, recommend treatment, and — when needed — determine permanent impairment ratings.

A general surgery provider evaluates work-related injuries within their specialty, manages treatment under the WC fee schedule, documents progress for the claims adjuster, and provides written reports the insurer uses to authorize ongoing care or settle the claim.
It depends on your state and whether your employer uses a Medical Provider Network (MPN). In states with MPNs, your first treating physician is usually chosen from the MPN list. After a waiting period (often 30 days), you may be able to switch to a provider of your choice, subject to MPN rules.
Bring a government-issued ID, your claim number, the claims adjuster's contact info, the employer's incident report, a list of current medications, and any prior medical records related to the injury. Many providers also accept faxed or emailed records in advance.
In workers' compensation cases, the insurance carrier (or self-insured employer) pays the provider directly under the state's WC fee schedule. You should not be billed for covered treatment. If you receive a bill, contact the claims adjuster immediately.
