Whenever the nature of the injury is such that immediate medical
care is required and the injured employee is unable to select a
physician, the employer shall select a physician. Thereafter the
employee may change physicians when he is able to make a selection. Such
changes shall be made upon obtaining written authorization from the
employer or, if consent is withheld, from the district director. The
Director will direct reimbursement of medical claims for services
rendered by physicians or health care providers who are on the list of
those excluded from providing care under the Act, if such services were
rendered in an emergency. (See Secs. 702.417 and 702.435(b)).
