Under the 2018 DOI rules, if the treatment is rendered by a physician or facility selected by the ER, the EE is eligible for treatment within how many days following the DOI?

• A. 14 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 60 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is timing for initial medical care after a work injury. Under the 2018 Date of Injury rules, if the employer (ER) selects the treating physician or facility, the employee (EE) is entitled to receive initial treatment within 30 days after the date of injury. This 30-day window ensures timely access to care when the ER is directing the provider, preventing unnecessary delays in starting treatment. The other intervals (14, 60, or 90 days) don’t align with this specific ER-selected-provider rule, which is why 30 days is the correct choice.
