1. What is workers' compensation certified managed care?
A: Workers' compensation managed care plans are certified by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, and provide for the delivery and management of medical treatment for injured employees through a network of health care providers.
An employee covered by managed care selects a treating doctor from the network, which must include medical doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, podiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, and specialists.
