The WCJ correctly admitted applicant's self-procured medical reports obtained under former section 4060 as they were obtained prior to the parties' selection of QMEs under current sections 4060 and 4062.2, and not solely to rebut the panel QME's opinion. Defendant failed to show substantial prejudice or irreparable harm from the reports' admissibility.
From the decision · page 11Accordingly, we concur with the WCJ's determination that the reports of Michael Einbund, M.D., Rosabel Young, M.D., Michael Wells, M.D., and Koruon Daldalyan, M.D., are admissible in proceedings before the WCAB, and may further be submitted for review by the appropriately selected panel QMEs in this matter. We express no opinion as to the evidentiary weight the reports should be accorded, either by the QMEs selected by the parties pursuant to current section 4060 and 4062.2, or by the WCJ.
