Which code corresponds to Employer Request to Change Physicians?

• A. 4603 - Employer Request to Change Physicians
• B. 4601 - Employee Request to Change Physicians
• C. 3751 - Medical Bill Collection
• D. 4602 - Transfer of Liability

Answer: (A)

In this coding system, actions about changing physicians are tracked by who initiates the change. The code that represents an employer initiating a change of physicians is the one designated for an Employer Request to Change Physicians. It specifically flags that the request came from the employer, not the worker. The other codes cover different, unrelated actions: one is for when the employee asks to change physicians, another is for medical bill collection, and another for transferring liability. Because the question is asking for the code tied to an employer-initiated request to change physicians, the employer-initiated option is the correct choice.
