§ 3306(b)-1. Independent Medical Examination.
(a) The Department may request an independent medical examination to determine its liability for the payment of Family Temporary Disability Insurance benefits to a claimant. Any care recipient, except one who depends for healing entirely upon prayer or spiritual means, as provided in Section 2709 of the code, may be required to submit to independent medical examinations when one or more of the following circumstances is present:
(2) The examination and any laboratory or x-ray procedures will be only extensive enough to determine whether the care recipient has a serious health condition, whether the claimant's participation is warranted, and the period of time that the claimant's participation is warranted. The examination is an evaluation and not a consultation.
(c) A claimant who receives a request for the care recipient to submit to an independent medical examination must contact the designated physician not later than the seventh consecutive day after the date the request was mailed to the claimant to arrange an examination for the care recipient on the earliest date available. Such time will be extended by the department upon a showing of good cause. The request for an independent medical examination will be cancelled if, within the 7-day period, the claimant reports that he or she returned to work or that his or her care is no longer warranted.
