As the treating PTP on a case, a final P & S report with rating was submitted. Now the carrier wants to have the patient pick a QME. WHY?

because the carrier disagrees with the PTP opinion

depending on the date of injury and if the applicant is represented or not the injured worker cannot always just pick a QME....most instances for unrepped or dates of injury after 1/1/05 mean that the injured worker must request a QME panel from the state....not sure if that is what you meant.

The patient is an attorney and representing himself. The injury was in 2007. I tend to understand what you are saying relative to the insurance company wanting to get another rating/opinion. I assume, as you stated, that he will be sent a choice of 3 to pick from once the forms are filed out.
