Some sense came out of California, I must mark this day. There’s a reason there’s a cap on these treatments – they can go from curative to non-curative in a heartbeat and since the treatment feels good the worker won’t make the call to stop treatment and the provider sure as heck isn’t going to make the call to stop treatment.
No it is not a “good call”. I can see needing just cause for therapy, but you have just doomed a lot of people with sever injuries to NOT getting needed treatment. Ask the cop who leg was amputated while working and is fighting for the therapy he needs and will probably need for a life time. I am disabled as well… try living on 139 a week. That is what all these “reforms” have done for those honestly injured. Even Cali. Supreme Court Justice J. Duncan has issued a statement saying workmans comp/Disabled workers reform is unconsistutional and causing great harm. Meanwhile the insurance companies represnting the companys logged a historic profit of 20 billion dollars over expenses and payout to claims.
This is not reform, this is criminal.
