Can the department require candidates to choose from a specified list of physicians if the candidate wants to get a second opinion?
A.No. Although the department may assist the candidate by offering a list of physicians who are experienced in pre-employment medical screening as a service to the candidate, the department cannot dictate who the rejected candidate uses for a second medical opinion, or even the qualifications of that evaluator. However, findings from second opinion evaluators can be considered against the relevancy of the evaluator’s qualifications and experience.
