Reduces statute of limitations from six years to two years in medical fee disputes in workers' compensation matters.
This bill reduces the time limit for filing disputes over medical fees in workers' compensation cases from six years to two years. It directly affects injured workers and medical providers, requiring disputes to be filed with the Division of Workers' Compensation within two years of receiving payment or a denial notice. The key mechanism shortens the existing statute of limitations while also prohibiting medical providers from reporting unpaid bills to credit agencies until after a final decision by the Division. This change aims to streamline dispute resolution without altering payment obligations for authorized medical services.
