otherwise provided in this section, the administrator of the county jail, city
jail or other local detention facility or a designated agent thereof has

select a treating, consulting and rating physician or chiropractor, or both,

facility, but shall do so in accordance with the security procedures of the
jail or other detention facility.

determine if an offender has suffered a permanent partial disability, it must
use a rating physician or chiropractor who has been designated by the
Administrator to determine the disability pursuant to

next physician or chiropractor according to the order in which their names
appear on the list maintained by the Administrator.
