(b) Except as provided in Workers’ Compensation Law Section 13 (e), the Workers’ Compensation Law Judge shall determine whether the requested cross-examination is reasonably necessary for the full presentation of the case or issue. If a party identifies specific evidence that, if credited by the Worker’s Compensation Law Judge, would likely result in rejection of the witness’s medical opinion, cross-examination shall be granted. If a party fails to timely request cross-examination or to identify specific evidence that would likely result in rejection of the witness’s medical opinion, cross-examination shall be denied.
