Reed v. Bay Con General Inc.
496 So.2d 963, 11 Fla. L. Week. 2310, (Fla.App. 1 Dist., Oct 31, 1986)
Absent a conflict in the medical evidence the employer/carrier may not be required to bear the expense of an evaluation by an additional physician based merely on claimant's assertions of continued pain. Instead claimant must demonstrate that such further medical evaluation and/or treatment is reasonably required by the nature of the injury or the process of recovery. Additional medical care in this case denied where the uncontridicted evidence showed that MMI had been reached with no permanent impairment.
