Step Two: Third Party Review. If the staff member in disagreement is not satisfied with the decision made during the initial reconsideration, a third party review may be requested in writing to the LPDC within ten (10) workdays. The third party review will consist of a panel of one certified/licensed staff member selected by the LPDC, one certified/licensed staff member selected by the staff member in disagreement, and one certified/licensed staff member agreed upon by the two selected parties who will meet at a mutually agreed upon time but no later than thirty (30) workdays. These three individuals will function as a panel to review the LPDC decision, documented reasons for the appeal from the staff member in disagreement, and other information as determined by the panel to either uphold or overturn the LPDC’s decision. The panel’s decision will be final unless the issue is appealed to the State, then the State will make the final decision.
