Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

In the event that a county determines that a
service is not a necessary medical service, a provider may submit the issue to
a panel for arbitration as follows:
(1) Within thirty (30) days of the determination, the board and the
provider shall each appoint one (1) licensed medical or osteopathic doctor
with expertise in the condition treated or to be treated. The two (2)
appointees shall jointly select a third medical or osteopathic licensed doctor
with equivalent expertise. The panel shall review such information as it deems
necessary and render a decision within thirty (30) days as to whether the
covered service is a necessary medical service.
(2) There shall be no judicial or other review or appeal of the findings
of the panel. No party shall be obligated to comply with or otherwise be
affected or prejudiced by the proposals, conclusions or suggestions of the
panel or any member or segment thereof; however, in the interest of due
consideration being given to such proceedings and in the interest of
encouraging consideration of claims informally and without the necessity of
litigation, the applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled and not
deemed to run during the time that such a claim is pending before the panel
and for thirty (30) days thereafter.
(3) Expenses incurred by the members of the panel in the performance of
their duties will be borne by the respective parties making their appointment,
and expenses of the third member shall be divided equally among the respective
parties.
