If the parties are unable to mutually agree on the selection of an independent medical examiner, the division shall select an independent medical examiner from a list of independent medical examiners maintained by the division MAY BE SELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8­42­107.2; except that, if an authorized treating physician has not determined that the employee has reached maximum medical improvement, the employer or insurer may only request the division to select SELECTION OF an independent medical examiner if all of the following conditions are met:

(I) (D)  If the employee, insurer, or self­insured employer disputes a medical impairment rating, including a finding that there is no medical impairment, made pursuant to sub­subparagraph (A) of this subparagraph (I), the parties to the dispute may select an independent medical examiner by mutual agreement IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8­42­107.2 to review the rating.

For purposes of determining levels of medical impairment, the physician shall not render a medical impairment rating based on chronic pain without anatomic or physiologic correlation.

For the purposes of premium calculations, if such employer disputes the impairment rating for the occupational disease, the employer shall request an independent medical examination pursuant to the procedures set forth in section 8­42­107 8­42­107.2. The finding of the independent medical examiner regarding the impairment rating may be overcome only by clear and convincing evidence. The total cost of the employee's occupational disease shall not be considered in determining the employer's premiums, but shall be considered by the commissioner of insurance in setting rates.
