Employees have the option of pre-designating their personal
physician as their treating physician in the event of a work-related
injury/illness. This designation must occur prior to a
work-related injury/illness. The law defines "personal physician"
as (1) The employee's regular licensed physician or surgeon; (2)
Who is the primary care physician and has previously directed the
employee's treatment and retains the employee's medical records
and medical history; (3) And who agrees to be pre-designated.
Employees bear the responsibility of keeping their physician pre-designation
current. If you choose to pre-designate, the form must be completed
and signed by you and your personal physician. Return the
completed form to Univerisity Risk Management, LH 806.
If you have pre-designated a physician but are unable,
at the determination of your supervisor, to drive due to the extent
of your work-related injury/illness or to arrange timely transportation
to that location, your supervisor will arrange for you to be transported
to a St. Jude Health Services location.
This physician pre-designation form is available under the heading
“Forms.”
