Book excerpt: As the implementation of workers' compensation managed care programs spreads, the volume of state rules and regulations for the industry multiplies as well. And as you know, keeping track of the various iterations is an extremely difficult task. The future holds more regulation, not less. You need a resource that allows you to quickly scan summaries of the latest laws and regulations in each state to easily identify opportunities around the country to expand you business. State-by-State Laws and Regulations on Workers' Compensation Managed Care covers all the rules on every aspect of workers' compensation, including choice of physicians ... utilization review ... provider reimbursement ... cost containment dispute resolution ... 24-hour care ... and much more. Completely updated to include numerous new laws passed since the last edition was published, the 1999 Edition helps you: identify states with favorable -- or unfavorable conditions for expanding your business -- watch out for changes in what you can, can't and must do in states where you already do business -- know in advance which products and programs can -- and can't -- succeed in states where you plan to do business. Don't miss out of profit opportunities -- or run afoul of the law -- just because you don't know the rules.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The California workers' compensation program provides medical care and indemnity benefits to workers who suffer on-the-job injuries or illnesses. California law mandates an annual assessment of whether injured workers in the state have adequate access to quality care, and the RAND Corporation was asked to help answer that question over three years. The key objective of this Year 3 report is to describe access to medical care among injured workers in California using medical billing data from Version 2.0 of the Workers' Compensation Information System. Overall, the estimates using such data suggest stability or slight improvements in most measures analyzed when compared with the Year 2 estimates.

Book excerpt: In response to rapidly increasing medical costs in the California workers' compensation program, the California Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation is recommending that the current fee schedule that determines the amount health care providers are paid be linked to Medicare fee schedules.

Download or read book Access to Medical Treatment for Injured Workers in California written by Kandice A. Kapinos and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The California's Workers' Compensation (WC) program provides medical care and indemnity (e.g., wage-replacement) benefits to workers who suffer on-the-job injuries and illnesses. The Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) is mandated by California's Labor Code Section 5307.2 to assess whether injured workers have adequate access to quality care on an annual basis and authorizes the administrative director (AD) of DWC to make appropriate adjustments in fee schedule amounts if the AD determines there is inadequate access to care. The California Department of Industrial Relations commissioned RAND researchers to examine annual trends in access to care for injured workers in a three-year effort. This report documents findings from the second year of this effort. This Year 2 report updates the trends examined in the Year 1 report by including an analysis of medical claims data from 2012 to 2015 (which includes injured workers followed for 12 months following initial injury; i.e., into 2016), analysis from a RAND-fielded physician survey, and data from Medical Provider Network listings. Researchers' key objective for this Year 2 report is to describe access to medical care among injured workers in California as mandated by state Labor Code Section 5307.2. This report builds on earlier California WC access reports sponsored by the state.
