If you send a QME panel and you don't get a response, how long do you have to wait?

• A. 10 days
• B. 20 days
• C. 30 days
• D. 60 days

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that there’s a short, fixed window for a QME panel to respond. When you issue a QME panel, the panel QMEs have up to 10 days to confirm availability or respond. If you don’t hear back within that 10-day period, you can move forward, typically by selecting another QME from the panel or by requesting a new panel. This 10-day waiting period helps keep the medical-legal process moving and prevents long, unnecessary delays. If you’re unsure, you can check with the panel administrator for the exact process, but the standard rule is ten days.
