Definition | A claim is "open" once the insurer has determined that the claim meets the definition of a compensable workers' comp claim under the statutes, administrative rules, and case law.
Claims disposition agreement (CDA) | This type of settlement is sometimes used to bring an open claim to closure. This settlement does not affect medical benefits. The worker does not have to reach medically stationary to enter into a CDA, and the attending physician can still treat the worker.
The status of a claim may determine how issues, such as the authorization of referrals, are handled. This section should help you figure out what you need to do, and when.
During this time, the insurer gathers information to determine if the claim should be accepted or denied. The law allows an insurer up to 60 days from the date the worker's employer knew about the injury or disease to determine whether or not to accept the claim.
A new condition is diagnosed during the course of the treatment; an omitted condition is one the worker believes was incorrectly omitted from the notice of acceptance. The attending physician must submit an 827 form for the new or omitted condition (s).
DCS is a method of finalizing a denial; therefore, no future treatment is covered. Any bills received prior to denial will be reviewed at the time of the decision. As of January 1, 2015, providers can bill and seek authorization from the health benefit plan while the claim is in "new" status.
On accepted claims, the insurer may deny certain conditions only (known as a "partial denial"). Only the worker can appeal a denial of a claim. Medical providers are notified within 60 days of a claim denial. If the worker does not appeal the denial, it becomes final, and providers are notified in writing.
