Navigating the intricacies of workers' compensation in Georgia can be a daunting task for both employees and employers. Key among the forms utilized in this process is the WC-200a, a vital document designed to facilitate the change of physician or addition of treatment by consent under the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation rules. This form, necessary once a Form WC-1 or WC-14 has been filed, helps streamline the process of modifying medical care providers or treatments related to a workplace injury. It necessitates detailed information about the employee, the currently authorized treating physician, and the proposed changes to treatment or care providers. The form also encapsulates an agreement section where the consented changes and the responsible party for the medical expenses are clearly defined. Once properly executed and submitted, along with notifying all relevant parties, the document serves as an officially approved modification to the employee’s medical treatment under the workers' compensation claim. Moreover, it underscores the importance of adherence to the legal obligations laid down by the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation, including penalties for falsifying information to obtain benefits unlawfully. The WC-200a thus plays a crucial role in ensuring that changes in an injured worker's medical treatment are transparent, consensual, and in compliance with state regulations.
