Authorization, mediation, moving and over usage

[Cookiecrum]

I have a few questions. I am from Florida

1) My doctor ordered a test and medical equipment for me. How long does the insurance company have to authorize this?

2) I know like most of you, I am tired of all this work comp stuff. Have asked my attorney if he could set up personal mediation at his office and that was some time ago. I don't understand how come he wont do this. Anything that I might be able to say to him that would speed this up? I have asked so many times. Everytime he put in a PFB and a mediation is set from that, the IC responds to the PFB and then the mediation gets canceled cause issues have been resolved. I want a mediation to settle.

3) I will be moving to Virginia and I was wondering, has anyone ever moved while under work comp and does it make everything more difficult?

4) I spoke with my attorney about over usage and he told me to make an appointment with my orthopedic under my current claim then when I am there, ask him if he will treat me for my new problem. I have all this documented in my email. Should I print out the letter the attorney sent me about this and show it to my doctor?

5) Also my PM doctor ordered blood test and I had them on the 13 of Nov. If he found anything wrong they would call right?

Any thing you can tell me is great, I am all ears....
