What is the test for self-provoked medical treatment?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Braewood Convalescent Hosp. v. W. C. A. B. of State of Cal., 136 Cal.App.3d 95, 185 Cal.Rptr. 860 (Cal. App. 1982):
Before self-procured medical treatment is reimbursable, such treatment must be reasonable. (McCoy v. Industrial Acc. Com. (1966) 64 Cal.2d 82, 48 Cal.Rptr. 858, 410 P.2d 362.) Reasonable medical treatment does not require that the employer provide the applicant with medical treatment the applicant believes to be "the best in the world," regardless of the locale or expense of the treatment.
