Sec. 17.

An appointing authority, the department, the disability determination bureau of the division of disability and rehabilitative services, or a third party administrator contracted by the state may require examination by designated physicians. Examinations by state designated physicians are paid for by the state. An employee failing to submit to a required examination or waive the patient/physician privilege results in a disqualification of eligibility for benefits. The employee is not required to waive the patient/physician privilege as to medical conditions unrelated to their claim for benefits.
