channel 7 colorado "Did Dale Davis ever call you and ask you to change an IME?" 7NEWS Investigator Tony Kovaleski asked doctor of chiropractic medicine Reiner Kremer.
"That indeed took place," Kremer replied. "What he did was say we're going to change the report and we'd like you to approve how we've changed your report."
Kremer ended his relationship with Medical Ops Management, telling 7NEWS, "I felt that to be very inappropriate."
Former employees of Med Ops have also raised questions about the company's conduct and ethics.
Under oath, in depositions obtained by 7NEWS, the company's former operations manager was asked, "Were you aware of any instances in which medical reports generated by physicians were altered or changed by Medical Ops Management personnel without the knowledge or consent of the physician?"
She responded, "Yes."
The former employees say Medical Ops Management used a doctor's electronic signature or a rubber stamp on the amended report.
"The purpose of this was to cut off care so that the insurance companies would send more business to Medical Ops Management because they knew that they were going to get the outcome that was favorable to the insurance company," said Denver attorney . This denver attorney has asked Colorado's Division of Insurance and the state's attorney general to investigate what he believes are criminal actions, spanning several years, by Medical Ops Management and these Doctors that have filed false reports.
"There are victims out there that have no idea that they're victims," said Livingston . "I also talked to doctors who got telephone calls from medical ops telling them they needed to change their report if they expected to see any work again."
In a separate deposition, under oath, another former employee stated she left Medical Ops Management because, "There was a general feeling that unethical and illegal practices were taking place."
"Reports were being changed," she said.
Davis declined to explain his actions to 7NEWS and he did not show up for a deposition to answer questions about his role in altering IMEs.
There is currently a warrant out for his arrest on a charge of "failure to appear."
Responding to 7NEWS' story and the accusations, Medical Ops Management announced major changes in the way it does business.
The company's director of operations has suspended all quality assurance reviews of doctor's reports, meaning that doctors will no longer be contacted to edit their reports before they are issued.
The director of operations said changes have been made and are being made to guarantee an Independent Medical Exam is truly independent.

Colorado's Division of Insurance has issued a bulletin eliminating the use of rubber or electronic signatures on Independent Medical Exams.
After learning of the 7NEWS investigation, other former employees of Medical Ops Management have contacted KMGH.
