Medical Treatment & The Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Act

August 30, 2017 by Meuser, Yackley & Rowland, P.A. No Comments

Can I choose my treating physician?

Yes, you have the right to choose your treating health care provider. But, you must choose wisely because once you choose a treating physician, it becomes difficult to switch.

Independent Psychological Evaluations

August 16, 2017 by Meuser, Yackley & Rowland, P.A. No Comments
