Griffin v. J.B. Hunt Transport & Ward North America
795 So.2d 155, 26 FLW D2138
Employer/carrier selected a physician who was not
licensed in Florida to perform an independent medical
examination (IME). Notwithstanding the fact that the
doctor was not licensed to practice medicine in the
State of Florida, court determined that doctor could
testify as an IME physician since he was exempt from
the licensing provisions in Chapter 458 and in
performing the IME he acted within the scope of his
practice. Court also determined that the doctor
performing the IME need not be certified by the
Division of Workers' Compensation because, in
performing the IME, he was providing medical services
outside the state of Florida. Dissenting opinion.
