In order to provide a more efficient means of requesting and receiving QME panels, the Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) has officially implemented a new online panel process for requesting initial panels in represented cases as of today.
How does it work?
Parties in a represented case are required to submit initial QME panel requests using the online QME system; by doing so, an online panel will issue immediately. The requesting party is then responsible for serving the panel request form, any documentation that was uploaded during the request process, and the QME panel on all parties with a proof of service.
