Finalising medical disputes
A medical dispute can be finalised in a number of ways:
- If the parties reach agreement about the degree of permanent impairment before the dispute is determined, the applicant or parties may discontinue the dispute.
- If the only issue in dispute is the degree of permanent impairment, we will issue a Certificate of Determination in accordance with the decision of the Approved Medical Specialist, once the period for an appeal to be lodged has expired.
- If the Medical Assessment Certificate gives rise to an entitlement to compensation for pain and suffering, and you advised us in your dispute application that there is a dispute in relation to this entitlement, your application will be referred to an Arbitrator to resolve or determine this dispute.
