Copies
of Designated Doctor Request Now Provided With Division Order
On September 1, 2016, the
Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) will begin sending all parties a copy
of the Request For Designated Doctor (DWC
Form-032) along with the Commissioner’s order for a designated doctor exam.
If the ordered examination is a result of a Presiding
Officer’s Directive to Order Designated Doctor Exam (“POD”), a copy of that
request will be attached.
For designated doctors
and their administrative services companies, the exam order and the copy of the
DWC Form-032 or POD will be faxed together to the number on the designated
doctor’s TXCOMP Provider profile.
These changes should
streamline the process and provide a copy of the forms that DWC used to
schedule the exam.
Parties must continue to provide
a copy of the request to each party who did not request the designated doctor
exam when submitting the request to DWC, as required by Division rule.
If you have any questions
regarding this new process, please contact Mary Landrum, Director of Designated
Doctor Operations at 512-804-4814 or mary.landrum@tdi.texas.gov.
