Kohout v. Benefit Administrators

26 FLW D960

Claimant entitled to an independent medical examiner outside of the managed care arrangement where the claim for benefits was controverted in its entirety by the employer/carrier. Where the issue is causation, managed care does not control the obtaining of an IME requested by the claimant, i.e., where causation or compensability is questioned, the claimant is entitled to an independent medical examination by an examiner he selects whether it is in the managed care arrangement or not.
