Your employer cannot demand that you get a second opinion before approving your surgery. This is sometimes the result of an attempt to have you eventually seen by a doctor who disagrees with the need for surgery. This would then eliminate your employer's responsibility to pay for it. Your Missouri Workers' Comp benefits are available to pay for any surgery or other treatment plan a doctor advises.
Your lawyer can evaluate the facts of your case to determine if your rights to Missouri Workers' Comp benefits are being violated.
