AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona's workers' compensation law to give injured employees more control over their medical treatment. Specifically, it allows an injured employee to choose their own medical provider, pharmacy for prescription drugs, and ancillary services such as laboratory tests, imaging, and durable medical equipment, unless the employer or carrier directs care under a specific section of the law. The bill also makes a minor correction to the language regarding the timing of the first compensation payment, changing "no later than" to "not later than."
