What happens if I get subpoenaed to testify?

Find out the steps you need to take after receiving a subpoena.

Don't ever ignore subpoenas!

Fax it to us so we can contact the attorney who sent it. An injured worker in a third party case may have mistakenly listed you as a "treating physician" in answering an interrogatory. Telephone Chief Legal Counsel Philip Imbrescia at (857) 321-7351. He will be your intermediary with the lawyer.

If necessary, we will go into court to quash the subpoena. This is very rare. Since the program began in 1991 no "Impartial Physician" has had to testify.
