WCD WRME 440-4025: worker-requested medical exam after an IME denial
Resources, agencies and counties · resources
What this source covers
WCD's May 2025 WRME guide gives examination eligibility, written request contents, insurer/agency responsibilities and scheduling steps after an IME-based claim denial.
How to use it
For a worker-requested medical examination (WRME), read publication 440-4025, preserve the separate WCB denial-hearing request, then send a written WRME request to WCD and the insurer with the listed worker/provider information, hearing-request date, denial letter and nonconcurrence documentation. Ask WCD which treating-clinician documentation applies in your case. Phone: 503-947-7606.
Limits and questions to verify
The PDF is dated 5/25 and the linked worker page must be read with it. An attorney is not required to request a WRME, but eligibility and any exceptions must be confirmed. Follow the director's selection notice, scheduling/notification and question-submission instructions; no examination or claim acceptance is guaranteed.
