\"FatherA Form 25C<\/a> in Workers\u2019 Compensation is an Authorization for Rehabilitation Professional to Obtain Medical Records of Current Treatment.\u00a0 When you have been injured on a job and you have started your Workers\u2019 Compensation case, you will be assigned to a physician picked by the insurance company representing the company in which you work(ed) for.\u00a0 At this point you and the doctor will begin treatment to get you improved medically to the maximum potential (your MMI, maximum medical improvement<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0 If your physician feels like you need to be seen by a specialist in order to reach your MMI then the physician will send written recommendation and authorization for the specialist to treat you.<\/p>\n

At this point, this is where a Form 25C comes in to play.\u00a0 A Form 25C in Workers\u2019 Compensation is an Authorization for Rehabilitation Professional to Obtain Medical Records of Current Treatment and is filed with the North Carolina Industrial Commission<\/a>.\u00a0 This gives permission for the treating specialist to obtain your medical records of treatment resulting from your work related injury to assess your current health situation.<\/p>\n

What happens if you do not feel like you should have to see a specialist?\u00a0 If you wish to continue with your case, unfortunately there is not much choice!\u00a0 Your refusal to sign this form upon the request of the rehabilitation professional can result in being deemed as \u201cnoncompliant\u201d with rehabilitation and the North Carolina Industrial Commission can suspend your benefits.\u00a0 It is very important throughout your Workers\u2019 Compensation case that you comply with all rules and regulations of the North Carolina Industrial Commission.<\/p>\n

Like all other facets of the law, Workers\u2019 Compensation is very complicated and best handled by an experienced attorney.\u00a0 It is strongly advised that if you think you may have a workers\u2019 compensation case that you consult an attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
