Roberts v. Ben Hill Griffin, Inc.
629 So.2d 236
Employer/carrier filed a motion for independent medical
examination. Pursuant to Florida Rules of Workers'
Compensation Procedure 4.140(a), the judge is required
to have a hearing on the motion prior to ordering the
IME. Not less than five days written notice must be
given on such a hearing. The right of an
employer/carrier to have an IME is not without limit
and there is a requirement of reasonableness to such an
IME subject to the scrutiny of the JCC. Since there
was nothing in the motion for an IME or in a hearing
for the JCC to scrutinize the reasonableness of this
IME, it was error to order the IME.
