It is a goal of the workers' compensation program to assist workers to return to work as soon as practicable after a compensable injury and to otherwise provide for high quality, cost effective medical care to injured workers. It is the shared responsibility of the employer, the injured worker, the managed health care plan, private carriers, and the Commission, or upon termination of the Commission, the Insurance Commissioner, to cooperate to achieve this goal.
