CompFox AI Summary

This case involves a dispute over obtaining a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) panel. The applicant requested a new panel because a QME on the initial panel could not provide an appointment within 60 days. However, the applicant failed to properly strike a physician from the original panel after the defendant did. As a result, the defendant was authorized to schedule an appointment with a remaining physician, and the applicant was not entitled to a new QME panel. The Appeals Board granted removal to amend the prior order to reflect a rescheduled appointment with the original QME.
