What Is a Panel Evaluation?

 

A panel evaluation involves a team of medical experts from different specialties who collaborate to provide an independent, thorough assessment of an injury or disability claim. These evaluations are often required by insurance providers, legal teams, and employers to ensure fairness and accuracy in determining treatment needs, impairment ratings, and return-to-work status.

 

Key Aspects of Panel Evaluations

  • Multidisciplinary Medical Review – Involves specialists in orthopedics, neurology, pain management, and physical therapy to assess the full scope of an injury.

  • Objective Medical Opinions – Provides evidence-based conclusions on injury severity, treatment effectiveness, and long-term impact.

  • Workers’ Compensation & Insurance Claims Support – Ensures that medical findings align with state guidelines and industry standards.

  • Dispute Resolution & Second Opinions – Helps resolve discrepancies in medical diagnoses, impairment ratings, and treatment plans.

 

Why Panel Evaluations Matter

 

A panel evaluation ensures a thorough, unbiased assessment, which is essential for:

  • Workers’ Compensation Cases – Determines eligibility for benefits and return-to-work recommendations.

  • Personal Injury & Disability Claims – Provides an independent expert opinion for legal and insurance cases.

  • Treatment Validation – Confirms whether medical interventions are necessary and effective.

  • Litigation Support – Strengthens legal arguments with comprehensive, multi-expert medical insights.
