When you are injured on the job you should be given the opportunity to choose a workers compensation doctor from the posted panel of physicians.  It is required under Georgia law that the employer maintain a workers compensation panel of six doctors.  The employer should not just tell you which doctor to go see but rather let you choose a doctor from the panel.  Once you are injured on the job ask your employer to see the panel of Workers Compensation Doctors.

You cannot just treat with your personal doctor and expect the employer to pay the bills and pay weekly compensation.  If the employer has a valid panel then you must see their Workers Compensation Doctors.
