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.
