  • Review appealed cases and provide objective, evidence-based recommendations.
  • Submit clear, concise reports using Dane Street’s secure online portal.
  • Follow nationally recognized clinical guidelines and best practices.

Requirements

  • Active, unrestricted Louisiana medical license.
  • Board Certification in Orthopedic Surgery.
