Third opinion. If the opinions of the employee's and the BSC's designated health care providers differ, the Superintendent or his/her designee may require the employee to obtain certification from a third health care provider, again at the BSC's expense. This third opinion shall be final and binding. The third health care provider must be designated or approved jointly by the Superintendent or his/her designee and the employee. The Superintendent or his/her designee and the employee must each act in good faith to attempt to reach agreement on whom to select for the third opinion provider. If the Superintendent or his/her designee does not attempt in good faith to reach agreement, the Superintendent or his/her designee will be bound by the first certification. If the employee does not attempt in good faith to reach agreement, the employee will be bound by the second certification. Any contacts under this paragraph between the Superintendent or his/her designee or its health care provider and the designated third opinion health care provider shall be in writing.
