If an employer hires a family member, can the employer pay a doctor directly?

An employer can pay for a family member/employee's injury as long as they report that injury as a claim to workers' comp and the claim is assigned a claim number.

When employers pay bills "retail," it typically costs twice as much as a state's Fee Schedule. The advantage is that paying direct keeps the dollars off the loss run, but your client is protected if the injury leads to a higher dollar-value claim in the future.
