What happens if the injured worker fails to attend a scheduled evaluation?
If the claimant fails to appear for the evaluation with good cause, the evaluation will be rescheduled. If the claimant fails to appear for the evaluation without good cause, as determined by the Commissioner, this may be deemed a refusal to comply with a reasonable request for medical examination and the injured employee’s right to compensation may be suspended pursuant to the Act, and no compensation shall be due and payable while the injured employee continues such refusal.
