Discuss the referral with a DDS medical consultant (MC) in any case where there may be a medical question as to the claimant's ability to
undergo the testing or work evaluation.
Consult with the claimant’s physician to obtain his or her opinion regarding potential
medical contraindication. Document the MC’s resolution of the issue(s).
IMPORTANT: If the MC directly consults with the claimant’s physician to obtain his or her opinion
regarding potential medical contraindication, the MC must document resolution of the
issue(s).
