Aren’t all panels the same?

0

No. Standards vary widely. Since 1992, The State of Washington Department of Labor & Industries has allowed anyone who wished to open a panel to do so, without enforcing standards. Therefore, there are huge differences in experience, quality and integrity. Please review the “about us” section of this web site for more details about what separates us from the “panel mills” and “IME brokers.” The growth of national “IME” brokers and vendors has had the unfortunate result of not only reducing the overall quality of reports but the fostering of insidious and improper relationships between these brokers and vendors and referral sources. This places the integrity, fairness, and quality of the final report into jeopardy and ultimately is compromising the entire process.
