The recipients were selected from more than 225 nominations after a multi-level judging process.

CHOICE Medical Management Services LLC, a Florida-based workers’ comp care management organization, launched the annual awards program last year to recognize and honor medical excellence in Florida’s workers’ comp system, according to Thomas Barrett, president and CEO of CHOICE. “The Florida CHOICE Awards underscore our belief that physicians have the greatest impact on the outcome of a worker’s compensation claim,” he said.
CHOICE will accept nominations for the 2005 winners starting in January 2005.
