Scenario:
Caller to QME medical office states that her husband died and she has a death claim filed so she needs a QME report and selected the MD from the panel of three. There is no attorney involved at this time.
States she was told by the CA that she MUST have her QME report in to the CA w/in 90 days of date of death or it will be denied as beyond the SOL.
Add'l info - she states husband was treating with the company doctor for 10 years for this industrial condition prior to death.
Question:
is there a SOL of 90 days from date of death to submit supporting medical documentation - or is the CA just blowing smoke?
Thank you for your comments on this situation.
