DESCRIPTION:9/1 CA State Public Hearing In Oakland On Medical Treatment Utilization 
 Schedule (MTUS) Chronic Pain Medical Treatment Guidelines and Opioids 
 Treatment Guidelines\nInjured Workers-Injured Workers Advocates Speak Out 
 Against SB 863 Attack On Injured Workers-Stop Terrorizing Injured 
 Workers\n\nDate: Sept. 1, 2015\nTime: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or conclusion 
 of testimony\nPlace: Elihu Harris State Office Building – 
 Auditorium\n1515 Clay Street\nOakland, CA 94612\n\nInjured workers have 
 been under a vicious corporate insurance attack  in California that has 
 prevented them from getting their injuries taken care of in a timely 
 fashion. Governor Brown and his supporters have set up an obstacle course 
 called Independent Medical Reviews that stall getting injuries treated. 
 Workers then have to fight to get medication to deal with the pain that 
 injured workers have. Doctors who subscribe opiates are then blamed for a 
 rise in addiction among California injured workers.\nThe rise of opiate 
 addiction among injured workers is a direct result of Governor Brown/DIR 
 Director Christine Baker's SB 863 which prevents workers from getting their 
 injuries taken care of promptly and the use of corrupt companies like 
 Maximus to use anonymous doctors to make medical determinations. Governor 
 Brown and DIR director Christine Baker gave a $40 million no bid contract 
 to Maximus to contract out state work on making determinations on care for 
 California injured workers.\nCome to this hearing and speak out about the 
 corruption and failure of the state to take care of injured workers and 
 blaming doctors for oversubscribing opiates because the insurance 
 controlled Governor Brown, the CHSWC and DIR Director Christine Baker are 
 representing the bosses and insurance companies rather than injured 
 workers.\n\n\nMedical Treatment Utilization Schedule (MTUS)
