Rule 48. Medical Case Managers--Requests for Assignment
A. For cases not covered by a certified workplace medical plan, and where the employer, insurance company, or own risk employer does not provide case management, the Court may grant case management on the request of any party or when the Court, on its own motion, determines that case management is appropriate. Nothing in this rule shall limit the Court's ability to appoint a case manager by agreement of the parties, or as otherwise allowed by law.
G. If a party makes a good faith effort to get medical records (including diagnostic films) and the records are unobtainable, then a letter to this effect shall be sent to the case manager with copies to all other parties and the Court, together with information as to the known location of any such records or information not in either the attorney's or client's possession. If necessary, the case manager may contact persons in whose possession the records or information is located solely for the purpose of obtaining such records or information.
H. The respondent shall pay all reasonable and customary charges of a medical case manager appointed by the Court. Failure to timely pay a Court appointed independent medical case manager for services rendered pursuant to Court order may result in the imposition of assessments and sanctions by the Court.
