Additionally, you are entitled to medical care at no cost to you. After receiving initial treatment from the doctor your employer chooses, you may visit the doctor of your choice, so long as that doctor is a provider in the State Workers\u2019 and Connecticut Compensation Managed Medical Care Program network, unless it is an emergency or you obtain approval beforehand. Be aware that benefits for scars are only available for scars on your face, head, neck, or other areas of the body that affect your ability to obtain work or continue to work.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Dispute Resolution<\/h2>\r\n<p>If your claim is denied by your employer, you may <a href=\"http:\/\/wcc.state.ct.us\/download\/acrobat\/hr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">request a hearing<\/a>. You must include both your reason(s) for the requested hearing and any supporting documentation with your hearing request.
