A Hanford worker with a successful L&I claim has a right to necessary and proper medical treatment for their occupational disease. To get this medical treatment first get the necessary forms, second see your doctor, and third file your claim. For details see: Getting Started with your L&I Claim.
To receive ongoing medical treatment, you must choose your attending physician from L&I’s list of approved medical examiners. Your attending physician can send you to specialists.
Either of these doctors can refer you out for appropriate medical testing.
