Workers Compensation Guide Medical Panel A Medical Panel is a panel of neutral doctors appointed by the Judge. These doctors do not work for either the insurance company or for the injured worker. They only work for the Court. Once the Judge sends a letter to the Medical Panel Chairmen with your case information, the Medical Panel Chairman will call you directly to schedule an appointment. By the time the Chairman calls you, he has already arranged the schedules of the other doctors on the Panel. Therefore, please accept the date the Chairman presents. If you have a conflict, move your other appointments so you can attend the Medical Panel examination. The Medical Panel will read the entire Medical Record and review the Findings of Fact written by the Judge. They will meet with you for an examination. The Medical Panel will not tell you their decision. They will submit a Medical Panel Report in writing to the Judge. The Judge will send a copy of the Report to you and your attorney. Any objections must be filed within 15 days. Next Page: Medical Panel Objections Directory
