1Opinion of the CourtOpala, J.
¶ 1 The court’s certiorari grant stands confined to the single issue whether the Court of Civil Appeals (COCA) erred in its construction of the independent medical examiner (IME) statutory regime, 85 O.S.2001 § 17, 2 by elevating an IME medical assessment of compensable harm to a higher rank of probative value (for prima facie effect) than all other admissible expert opinions. We answer in the affirmative and retransfer the case to COCA for its reconsideration of all issues in a manner consistent with today’s pronouncement.
