In approximately one week a friend and patient will be having an independent medical exam (IME) to determine if the workers compensation insurance company will authorize the Ertl procedure as recommended by her attending physician. This will ultimately end up in a hearing judged by a Commissioner of the Workers Compensation Commission (WCC). It is important to make sure that all the physicians who offer an opinion in this case are fully informed and hopefully agree.
This is an obscure operation in our state as only one physician does the procedure. The question I would like to ask the list is what documentation would you recommend bringing to the IME and possibly a WCC hearing, for a physician and Commissioner who most likely would not be familiar with the procedure?
Thank you,
Charles King, C.P.
