Work Comp Settlement in California

[Yvonned]

I have chosen not to settle my claim and opted to receive medical benefits
for my lifetime. I had a pain stimiluator put in for RSD and the costs to have one replaced every ten years is so much more than any award I could have received. My problem is since I chose not to settle, my doctor appointments and presciption are taking longer and longer to get approved. My claims adjustor keeps asking my attorney am I ready to settle. I keep telling them no, since I cannot get insurance coverage for my stimulator. I asked for an appointment to have my machine reprogrammed and cannot get a approval from my claims adjustor. He is taking this claim personally, as he will not approve my medications now. What can I do?

Your lawyer should be handling this for you. You need to tell your lawyer to make them approve your appointments. If your doctor is in their network, your appointments should be approved. My doctor follow ups are always approved once the doctor got the first approval. I don't understand why your doctor won't see you.
