New Work Comp Law May Impact Pathology Groups
|
We wanted to alert you of an unintended consequence of a new law that takes effect on 1/1/17. The purpose of AB 2883 was to tighten up the current exclusions from mandatory work comp coverage for all employees that the sponsor claims were being abused by companies claiming that an employee was an owner. Owners are exempt and it is well known that physician members of a group are typically exempt. The change states that in order to be excluded as an owner from the mandate to have Work Comp coverage, a person has to own at least 15% of the corporation. The impact goes well beyond that with the arbitrary 15% requirement.
Pathology groups may be contacted by their Work Comp carriers indicating that they have no choice but to include physician members as employees unless they have 15% ownership interest. The CSP is in discussions with CMA and others to quickly craft a clean-up bill to eliminate the application to physicians. We will work to eliminate this unnecessary requirement as quickly as possible when the Legislature reconvenes on January 4, 2017.
