HB 502
AN ACT relating to workers compensation.
In Plain Language
This bill changes when the clock starts ticking on workers compensation payments. Instead of starting the 30-day countdown to pay for services and 45-day countdown to submit statements from when a claim is filed, the deadlines now begin only after the employer or insurer accepts or determines the claim is compensable. This affects how quickly workers get paid for medical services and documentation after a claim is approved.
Official summary
Amend KRS 342.020, relating to the process of workers compensation claims, to establish that the 30-day and 45-day deadlines to pay for services and submit statements, respectively, begin after acceptance or determination of compensability of the claim.
