The Tennessee Bureau of Workers' Compensation announced today that it has created a Certified Physician Program (CPP) to provide specialized training to doctors and chiropractors who treat injured workers. The bureau argues that work-related injuries present unique challenges and that traditional medical training does not always cover the issues physicians encounter. The centerpiece of the program is a free, online, self-paced course focused on successfully evaluating and treating injured workers. Once certified, doctors are eligible to receive enhanced fees for visits and for providing final impairment ratings. Read a press release from the bureau for more details.
