A Layman's Guide to ICBC Part 7 Benefits

Can ICBC Insist that I see a Doctor of their Choice?:

The basic answer to this question is yes. ICBC is entitled to have a claimant seen by a doctor of its choice to determine if the person is entitled to Part 7 benefits. This right is sometimes misused by ICBC as the prime purpose of the assessment is to assist with the injury or death claim, not to determine whether Part 7 benefits should be paid. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get ICBC to disclose this report, unless the adjuster agrees to do so. If there is a lawsuit over the Part 7 benefits, then the report will have to be disclosed.
