Medical Networks and Panels

Access to quality medical care is a critical component of an effective workers compensation program.

Understanding Your State’s Requirements

The Medical Networks and Panels flyer provides an overview of medical network and panel requirements across multiple states, helping employers understand how injured workers access care and what responsibilities may apply before or after an injury occurs.

Because workers compensation medical treatment rules vary by state, employers should understand the specific network or panel requirements applicable to their locations. This resource outlines BHHC’s medical network arrangements and panel requirements for states including California, Texas, New Jersey, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Colorado.

The guide explains key distinctions between Medical Provider Networks (MPNs), Health Care Networks (HCNs), Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), and physician panels, including when employee notifications or panel postings may be required.
