All parties may exchange information on a voluntary basis. Formal discovery of any kind beyond exchange of medical reports and other exhibits to be offered at the hearing is discouraged. However, upon application and a showing of good cause that the information sought is material to a party's presentation at hearing, the arbitration panel may permit any discovery allowable under the Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure for the district courts. Any medical examination considered necessary by the insurer shall be completed within 30 days following commencement of the case unless extended by the arbitration panel.
