We received a good question the other day from someone who was asking, "Can an independent medical evaluation or defense medical examination doctor put you on modified duty when they're not your authorized treating or your main doctor?" And the short answer is, they can put that in their records. They can make that recommendation. However, the reality is your authorized treating physician is the one who makes that determination. Now, keep in mind, a lot of times the employer and the insurance company's attorney is getting a defense medical examination so that they can have some evidence against what your authorized treating physician is saying. So, your authorized treating physician is saying out of work completely. Well, I've got a doctor now who says you could go back to light duty work. And lo and behold, I bet they're gonna also tell you that they got a job for you. And so, this is part of strategy through the workers comp system. And it is entirely possible that this could happen. We see it happen actually all the time. However again, the authorized training physician is the one who should have the most weight if this is in front of a judge. So, hope that answers your question. Stay safe!
