In Georgia’s workers’ compensation system, the Petition for Medical Treatment (WC-PMT) is a formal process for injured workers to quickly resolve disputes over recommended medical care. Implemented in 2017 via State Board of Workers’ Compensation Rule 205(c), the WC-PMT allows a prompt “show cause” conference with a judge when an authorized treating physician’s recommended treatment or testing is not being approved in a timely manner.

Form WC-2 (the “Notice of Payment or Suspension of Benefits”) is a critical document in Georgia workers’ compensation cases.

Understanding when this form is used, the legal obligations tied to it, and your rights as an injured worker will help you navigate the workers’ comp process more effectively.
