Haw. Code R. § 12-10-75 - Medical examination orders and reports
(a) Orders
requiring the injured employee to appear for examination by the physician of
the employer's choosing may be issued by the director.
(b) The employer shall submit a request in
writing to the director and the injured employee twenty calendar days before
the scheduled medical examination date. The request shall also include the
purpose of the examination, justification for the order, the name of the
physician, and time, date, and place of examination.
(c) The director, upon review of the case
file and without necessity of hearing, and upon finding that the examination
will assist in the expedient disposition of the case or in determining the need
for or sufficiency of medical care or rehabilitation, shall issue a medical
examination order. The order shall not be appealable and will inform the
claimant that compensation may be suspended for failure to submit to the
examination without good cause. The injured employee may be responsible for a
reasonable no-show fee not to exceed $250 charged by the physician.
(d) Reports for a medical examination by a
physician chosen by the employer or employee not requiring a director's order
shall be provided to all parties within fifteen calendar days after receipt and
no later than fifteen calendar days prior to the scheduled date of hearing,
whichever is sooner. Failure to provide the required copies may result in the
director denying inclusion of the report in the director's decision.
