CWCI Wants No Other Guidelines Before ACOEM

[Guest guest]

An insurance industry group is urging the California Division of Workers'

Compensation to change draft medical utilization review regulations to make sure

that any treatment guidelines other than those written by the American College

of Occupational and Environmental Medicine " measure up to the standard of

scientific reliability. "

Given that GlobalTox (provider of professional defense expert witnesses) managed

to get the ACOEM to publish their biased report claiming that indoor mold can't

do to people what it's done to so many of us, why am I not surprised that the

insurance industry favors ACOEM for setting the " standard of care " in Worker's

Comp cases? Hmmm...or that ACOEM touts the Chubb Insurance Group as their

business partner? Does anyone doubt what this would ultimately mean to

California workers exposed to mold in their workplaces?
