the judge most likely wants to see a study by an nurse - RN who can comment on what disaiblity barriers impede your activities of daily living, that is called a home health care evaluation - - then your QME double stamps it....and says it is necessary due to the industrial injury.
just guessing here, because I was not present. Usually the insurance company is not necessarily fighting the home health care in a situation like yours, but rather they are looking for parameters -- such as how many hours per week, to do what, and what skill level is required for the home healh care aide.
Sorry I could not be of more help, but I am speculating as to the fact scenario you are facing here.
