No. Worker’s compensation carriers specifically request that opinion.

Has anyone in this group encountered the employer telling the occupational health medical provider (physician, NP/PA, or nurse) that they are not to opine on the causation of an injury or illness, either in counseling the injured/ill worker or in medical documentation of the illness/injury?

Anything anyone is able to share would be very helpful.
Thanks!
