Network Medical Care
In 1991, Texas implemented a “New Law” for Workers’ Compensation, aiming to streamline care for injured workers.

While these networks promise cost savings, they often compromise the quality of care, especially for those with serious injuries. Are you an injured worker navigating this complex system? Share your experiences with network medical providers—both positive and negative—and help shed light on the challenges faced by many. Your story could make a difference for others in similar situations.
