(2) Medical Second Opinion: ACOEM clearly allows for the referral to other medical specialists as part of a multidisciplinary care approach. More explicitly, Chapter 6, page 114 states, "Research suggests that multidisciplinary care is beneficial for most persons with chronic pain, and likely should be considered the treatment of choice for persons who are at risk for, or who have, chronic pain and disability.” (Bold added.) Therefore my referral to Dr. Sherman Tran, MD for the purpose of multidisciplinary care is certainly warranted.
