News and notes
Important information for VADA GSIA members
Keep your dealership’s workers’ compensation materials current and make sure employees know what to do when an injury occurs.
Maintain a Current Panel of Physicians
Dealerships must post a current Panel of Physicians and provide an updated copy to an injured employee. The panel must include at least three physicians.
When an initial treating physician refers an employee to a specialist, the employee should return to the dealership to select a specialist from an appropriate panel. Without a current panel, an employee may select any physician, limiting VADA GSIA’s ability to help manage care.
