In Tenet/Centinela Hospital Medical Center v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (2000) 80 Cal.App.4th 1041, the treating physician chosen by the employer issued a report discharging the employee with provision for future medical care when needed. The employee objected and was provided with a three-physician panel. Rather than select a physician, the employee retained an attorney and began treating with another physician five months later. The Court of Appeal ruled that pursuant to CCR section 9785, subdivision (b), once discharged the employee could not change treating physicians without complying with the procedures set forth in section 4061 or 4062.
