In yet a second
development that we applaud, last month the DWC announced that it will be
conducting an audit of the quality of Designated Doctor reports.
The Medical Quality Review
Calendar Year 2025 Annual Audit Plan, dated December 16, 2024,
states that in calendar year 2025 the Medical Quality Review Panel will conduct
one audit to evaluate “the quality of designated doctor reports and the
necessity of additional testing or referrals ordered by designated doctors to
resolve the issue in question.”
We at SLS hope that notice of the audit will cause Designated Doctors to
elevate the quality of their reports, because we see a ton of bad ones.
