Which entity administers changes to an employee-selected physician?

• A. The County Health Department
• B. The Admin Director
• C. The Medical Review Board
• D. The Administrative Officer

Answer: (B)

Understanding who has authority to approve changes to an employee-selected physician in a California Self-Insurance Plan helps you see how the system stays organized and compliant. The Administrative Director is the one designated to administer changes to the employee-selected physician. This role handles plan-wide administrative tasks, including updating physician assignments, processing changes requested by employees, and keeping records accurate so that treatment continues smoothly under the SIP framework.

The other entities perform different functions. A County Health Department oversees public health duties and isn’t responsible for administering individual SIP physician changes. The Medical Review Board typically focuses on evaluating medical necessity or appropriateness of care, rather than handling administrative changes to physician selection. The Administrative Officer may have general administrative duties, but the specific responsibility for administering changes to the employee-selected physician lies with the Administrative Director.
