4062.5
. If a qualified medical evaluator selected from a panel
fails to complete the formal medical evaluation within the timeframes
established by the administrative director pursuant to paragraph (1)
of subdivision (j) of Section 139.2, a new evaluation may be
obtained upon the request of either party, as provided in Sections
4062.1 or 4062.2. Neither the employee nor the employer shall have
any liability for payment for the formal medical evaluation which was
not completed within the required timeframes unless the employee or
employer, on forms prescribed by the administrative director, each
waive the right to a new evaluation and elects to accept the original
evaluation even though it was not completed within the required
timeframes.
