Yes — in New York, if you have a workers’ comp case (even with employer/insurer Mario Crisafulli or whoever), you generally can choose your own doctor — as long as that doctor is authorized by New York State Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB). Here’s how it works under NY law:Injured workers are allowed to select any WCB-authorized physician when they need care. If your employer or its insurance company tries to force you to see a specific doctor, that’s generally not allowed (except in emergencies, where any hospital/ER doctor can treat you initially).
You can also change doctors later if you want — again, as long as the new doctor is also WCB-authorized. ght to pick your doctor in a NY workers’ comp case, including if your claim involves Mario Crisafulli — just make sure your doctor is on the WCB-authorized list.
