Medical Ops Investigation Considered

As reported by Channel 7 Denver someone in the company called Medical Ops Management may be investigated after allegations that he was altering reports and pressuring doctors to issue Independent Medical Examinations favorable to the insurance. In Colorado workers comp this company has been frequently used by insurers who wish to have the claimant examined for a medical opinion. It is also reported to be used in Social Security cases. In other words the doctor may have dictated but not signed off on the report and it was then altered. Many claimants were sent to a doctor going through Medical Ops Management...and this raises many questions about the accuracy of many medical reports. Since this can affect medical and even money compensation it is a disturbing story. Here is the most recent link:
