What is medical arbitration?

Medical arbitration is the process by which a pedagogue appeals a decision made by the DOE medical office. Members may be eligible for medical arbitration once they have been denied a Line of Duty Injury (LODI) for at least 20 consecutive days. Once you apply for arbitration, you will be added to a waiting list to see an independent medical doctor who will function as a neutral arbitrator for your case.
