Filing Requirements
The Texas Division of Workers’ Compensation requires any Treating Doctor, Doctor Selected by the Treating Doctor, or Insurance Carrier-Selected RME Doctor to file a Report of Medical Evaluation. The report must be filed within 7 working days of the date of the evaluation—or receipt of all medical information necessary to certify the report—and must then be sent to the following parties:
- Injured Employee (or their representative)
- Insurance Carrier
- Treating Doctor
- Division of Workers’ Compensation
DWC Designated Doctors conducting a Medical Evaluation must file the report even if the patient has not attained a Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) designation. The report must then be filed within the same timeframe of 7 working days and sent to the same relevant parties.
