Who schedules the evaluation?
Within three (3) business days of providing or receiving notice of the physician selection, the Program Coordinator will contact the MIR physician to schedule the evaluation, and will immediately notify both parties, and the Workers’ Compensation Specialist if currently assigned, of the date and time of the evaluation. Only after this notification should the employer or insurance carrier contact the MIR physician and only to arrange for payment and for medical records submission required by the Rules. All parties are expected to cooperate with the Program Coordinator in scheduling the evaluation and with the requests of the MIR physician to allow the physician to make accurate findings.
