If a request is denied, delayed, or modified due to lack of medical necessity, the injured worker has the right to appeal the decision through IMR. This review is conducted by physicians who assess the case using evidence-based guidelines.

IMR physicians must be experts in the Medical Treatment Utilization Schedule (MTUS), Official Disability Guidelines (ODG), and medicolegal writing, as they are responsible for evaluating medical necessity based on established standards and reputed company articulating their rationale in written determinations.
