I don't think you going to have much of a problem with this. I will tell you this; Go to the MRI place, as for a copy of the MRI and the writen report. Save it, then go and sign a release to any doctor or surgeon and ask for your medical records, chart notes, soap notes. Get copies, and then make atleast 4 copies of each for later use. You then can send them to your treating surgeon. Save copies always. Call your adjuster and talk to them, ask if they need the copies of this, and medical, if so, send them off. If you start having problems with the Insurance I then say get an Attorney to help you out.

like all things in comp...maybe.

Your Dr. must link the two to a reasonable degree of medical certainty

it'll be a problem if there is medical opinion that doesn't support the connection.
the carrier is allowed a consult.

Is this the State oh Ohio? Because OH - (c-84) is, Request for Temporary Total Compensation

I'm thinking Form > OH - (C-9) Physicians Request for Medical Service or Recommendation for Additional Conditions for Industrial Injury or Occupational Disease

is what you and your surgeon want.

C-84 form in Ohio is used to request Temp Total Disability
C-9 form in Ohio is a form the Dr uses to request treatment. new conditions to be added to a claim must first be sumbitted by a dr on a c-9 form for approval.
