Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Dear Colleagues: After practicing for 31 plus years I am pleased to see we have one state association. During my first few years of practice, I belonged to the OCPA and then the CSO. ly, I became very weary of the politics, personal agendas, and infighting. I saw a wonderful profession in free-fall. It was a prime opportunity for our detracters to discredit and dismantle us. And that they did, as anyone practicing throughout the lies and deceit of the 1990 Legislative session can attest to. Unfortunately, many of those that tried to eliminate us are still around and still within our state government. Only now, we are united in cause and purpose. I have said many times, when there is but one state association I will join. That time has come. Someone please sent me an application. Neil R. Cohen, D.C. PO Box 86 Dundee, OR. 97115 503-538-9119 --------- "Steering" of Injured Workers Hi colleagues, As you all know employers and some insurers continue to require injured workers go to the local Occupational Medical Clinic for treatment of their Workers' comp injuries in violation of current Oregon law which states the injured worker gets to choose their provider. Though it is interpreted as such current law language does not specifically prohibit employers or insurers from directly or requiring injured workers treat with a particular provider, provider type, or clinic. Your state association btw your only state association the Chiropractic Association of Oregon is continuing to battle this issue for all of you but we/I as your lobbyist need your continued help. Many of you doctors have sent me e-mails, letters, and letters from injured workers (the most powerful weapon) which I was able to use as ammunition during my recent (Dec. 3) PowerPoint presentation in front of the full Management-Labor Advisory Committee (MLAC). In addition to these multiple e-mails and letters I also had a copy of a recent sanction and proposed $2000 fine against a Chevy's Restaurant in Hillsboro in the professionally bound document I presented to each of the 10 members of MLAC.it got there attention. More important it validated that there indeed is a problem something the employers, business lobby in general, and the insurance companies denied existed. In fact as I mentioned prior officials from the Work Comp Division had testified on more than one occasion that: "We just don't get complaints from injured workers that they can't see a doctor of their choice or a chiropractor of their choice etc." My response was always the same that the reason they receive no complaints is that injured workers don't know their rights, don't know they can treat with the doctor of their choice, they don't know who or what the Dept. of Consumer and Business Services is, what your phone number is and one step further removed from that is the Investigations and Sanctions Unit. in short they have no clue who to complain to! I need more letters especially from injured workers addressed specifically to the Investigator Leah Bingham (best), also letters from you doctors addressed to Ms. Bingham, btw it looks I lot more official and less contrived if your letters are indeed addressed to the investigator instead of me. You guys and gals have all been great we are on a roll I would just like to add more letters to the new bound document that I will present to the actual Legislative committee during the up coming session specifically the House Business and Labor Committee Chaired by Rep. Mike Schaulfer who is very supportive and actually has made our four work comp bills his committee bills! So please get me those letters send the original to the investigator and send me a clean copy of the letter by mail. Send your letters to me at 915 SE 19th Ave, Albany, OR 97322. The letters should be addressed to the investigator as shown below; Ms. Leah Bingham Investigations and Sanctions Unit Compliance Section Dept. of Consumer & Business Services Workers' Compensation Division 350 Winter Street NE, Rm 27 Salem, Oregon 97309-0405 Questions?
