4123-7-06 Treatment of more than one condition or to more than one part of the body.

In claims involving treatment of more than one condition or to more than one part of the body, care should be given by the attending physician to report all conditions and all parts of the body treated. Such information may be of major significance in later determination of the extent of disability as a result of the industrial injury or occupational disease. It shall be the duty of the claims examiners and/or claims reviewers to see to it that in claims under their jurisdiction proper steps are taken to obtain the necessary information on the question of extent of injuries or occupational diseases, either through correspondence or investigation, at the earliest possible time.
