Arbitration—supplementary medical reports
3929 Arbitration—supplementary medical reports
If a doctor changes in a material way an opinion in a medical report that has been served, the doctor must provide a supplementary medical report (a supplementary report) to the party who engaged the doctor (the engaging party) stating the change and the reason for it.
The doctor may provide the engaging party with other supplementary reports (also a supplementary report).
If a doctor provides a supplementary report under this rule, the engaging party, and any other party having the same interest as the engaging party, must not use an earlier medical report (including an earlier supplementary report) on an issue to which the earlier medical report relates unless the engaging party has served a copy of the supplementary report on all active parties in the proceeding on whom the engaging party served the earlier medical report.
