Opinion of the Court
Compcare of Florida, Inc., and Florida Preferred Risk appeal an order denying their motion for an independent medical examination to assess alleged overutilization.

In any dispute concerning overutilization, medical benefits, compensability, or disability under this chapter, the carrier or the employee may select an independent medical examiner.
The order is reversed, with directions that the employer and its insurance carrier be allowed to proceed with an independent medical examination.
