  • (i) Presence of the employee/claimant is not required if the employee/claimant is represented by counsel.
  • (ii) Failure of an employer to participate in an initial scheduling conference shall preclude the employer from further involvement in the proceedings, unless leave to participate is otherwise granted by the hearing officer.

(b) The medical commission and parties will continue to provide copies of all material and pleadings to any non-participating employer.

(c) The purpose of the initial scheduling conference is to provide a preliminary procedure in which to identify the primary issues, identify potential conflicts with the medical commission panel members, and to set forth a timetable in which to conduct and set the formal evidentiary hearing. The initial scheduling conference shall be conducted in an informal fashion and a taped record of the initial scheduling conference shall be maintained by the medical commission.
