The DWC issued a Notice of Emergency Regulation Re-Adoption Monday to extend current measures providing guidance for how a medical-legal evaluation can occur and alternatives for service of required forms for a medical-legal evaluation and report.
Re-adopting the emergency regulations will continue to help employers and injured workers move workers’ compensation claims toward a resolution and avoid undue delay, the DWC said in a release.
The re-adoption would extend the emergency regulations for up to an additional 210 days, at which point the DWC would be able to file for one more final re-adoption.
The DWC will file the re-adoption with the Office of Administrative Law on February 16, and a notice will be posted to the DWC website upon approval and filing with the Secretary of State.
