This section has been repealed. It stays here because decisions applied it while it stood, and those decisions are unreadable without it. Do not rely on it as current law.
Where this sits
- Chapter 4.5.
- Division of Workers' Compensation
- Subchapter 1. Administrative Director--Administrative Rules
- Article 5. Predesignation of Personal Physician; Request for Change of Physician; Reporting Duties of the Primary Treating Physician; Petition for Change of Primary Treating Physician

No released decision named this rule
Not a comment on the rule — most of Title 8 never reaches a published panel decision, because most of it is followed without argument. The text above is the state's own.
