California Healthline reports that Gov. Arnold has agreed to sign a bill that would allow injured workers to select their own physicians for two years past the (scheduled) expiration of that right in April 2007. This may not be all that meaningful, as many employers have joined WC managed care plans that allow employers to select treating providers.
In fact, it may drive even more employers to managed care plans as they will now not be able to direct care for another two and a half years.
