Answer
These individuals usually have a nursing background and are hired by the insurance carrier to supposedly act as a go-between for you and your doctor. They are supposed to insure that your medical needs are being satisfied and that you understand the doctor's opinions. Sometimes, these individuals are really acting as investigators for the insurance carrier. If you suspect that your medical management person does not have your best interest at heart, you can request that they be removed from your case. You have an absolute right to see your doctor without the medical management person present.
