There are no additional charges for defense medical examination report preparation services–we pay our mailing, parking, etc. After we type your defense medical examination report and produce your defense medical examination audio recording CD, we computer archive all DME nurse observer reports and audio recording files and will gladly provide additional copies at any time for free. We try to keep nurse observer cost down for you, and so we recommend that, if a Response to Demand is produced for any case, you consider including the following stipulations:
The total time for examination and testing, if applicable, will not exceed two (2) hours. If any time exceeding thirty (30) minutes goes by when the plaintiff is not being examined, either by Dr. _____ and staff, then the plaintiff will be free to leave.

If the defense examination has not commenced by _____ (30 minutes later), the plaintiff will consider this protracted delay to be a waiver of the defendant's rights to the defense examination and will leave the medical examiner's office, under the Code of Civil Procedure, Section 2032.220.
