A: If you went to see a designated doctor appointed by the Department of Insurance, then you need to request a Letter of Clarification to get the "mistake" corrected. I'm not sure which doctor's gave you what rating. The RME doctor is the Insurance Company's selected doctor that is approved by the Division. You use the term IME. Texas doesn't use that term. If you have not been to a state appointed Designated Doctor, you have the right to. You probably need to discuss the matter with an workers' compensation attorney to make sure you take the proper steps.
