A California Request For ME Panel Under Labor Code 4062.1 Unrepresented is a process that allows an unrepresented employee of a California-based employer to request an impartial medical evaluation (IME) in order to determine the extent and nature of an injury or illness. The employee must request the evaluation from the Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) and provide enough information to the DWC to identify the employer, the employee, and the injury or illness. There are two types of California Request For ME Panel Under Labor Code 4062.1 Unrepresented: 1. The Single Request for Qualified Medical Evaluator (ME) Panel process: This process is used when an employee has an injury or illness that is not disputed and the employer does not have a physician designated to provide an IME. 2. The Mutual Request for Qualified Medical Evaluator (ME) Panel Process: This process is used when an employee and employer have a dispute concerning an injury or illness and have not been able to resolve the dispute. Both parties must request a ME Panel from the DWC in order for the process to proceed.
