Adverse Referee Opinion
The opinion of a referee physician selected by the OWCP is critical to your case. The referee doctor’s opinion can result in the approval or denial of significant monetary benefits and medical treatment. We have recently been successful through the Employees’ Compensation Appeals Board in challenging the selection process utilized by the OWCP with regard to referee physicians. Particularly, the Board has determined that the OWCP has an obligation to identify the selection of a physician from their system. Particularly, the OWCP must include iFECS screen shots of the doctor selection before the opinion to carry the weight of the medical evidence.
If you have been a victim of an adverse referee opinion, you should seek qualified legal advice to make certain that the doctor was selected properly.
