§ Reappointment: Evaluations Rejected by Appeals Board
The Council, after hearing pursuant to Section 61, may deny reappointment to any QME who has had more than five evaluations rejected by a Workers' Compensation Judge or the Appeals Board originally submitted at a contested hearing. The rejection shall be based on the failure of the QME's evaluation to prove or disprove a contested issue or failure to comply with guidelines promulgated by the Council pursuant to Labor Code Section 139.2(j)(2), (3), (4) or (5). A specific finding must become final and the time for appeal must have expired before any rejected evaluation shall be counted as one of the five rejections. History: Renumbering of former section 52 to section 54 effective 5/14/00. |
