Blight v. Commercial Carrier
23 FLW D1277
Treating physician testified that the claimant was at
psychiatric maximum medical improvement and that he
needed no additional treatment. The doctor also
indicated that the claimant should continue taking his
prescribed anti-depressant medications. JCC erred in
failing to order the continuation of claimant's
palliative psychiatric care.
Claimant entitled to independent medical examination to
determine his need for palliative care. The JCC had
denied the request for an IME finding that it was not
medically necessary and the claimant had previously
received a second opinion. However, the second opinion
that had been provided was before the claimant's most
recent surgery.
