How can a party compel appearance at a deposition of an out of state provider, when a variance is denied by a health care provider?
First, the variance can only be denied by a carrier. It is submitted by the health care provider. Second, If the out of state provider is treating a claimant that both lives and is treated outside New York State, the Medical Treatment Guidelines do not apply. If the Medical Treatment Guidelines do not apply, then there is no need to request a variance and there will be no need to depose such provider. However, if the out of state provider is treating a claimant who lives in New York State, the Medical Treatment Guidelines apply. In that case the methods used to depose out of state providers for all other issues should be used. A subpoena is not necessary if the provider agrees to a date and time to be deposed.
