摘要 | California's workers' compensation (WC) program provides medical care and wage-replacement benefits to workers who suffer on-the-job injuries and illnesses. Individuals who are injured on the job are entitled to receive the medical care they need to relieve the effects of their injury with no deductibles or copayments. Physicians who treat and provide care to injured workers are required to file reports with the WC payer that address the worker's treatment, medical progress, and work-related issues. California's Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) asked the RAND Corporation to review the reporting process and pricing structure of the WC-required reports to ensure that the policies are consistent with efficient program administration. This report provides a framework for understanding the current processes for filing WC-required reports in California and establishes a baseline for comparison with other state systems. The objective of this report is to provide an assessment of WC-required reports, including the structure and content, level of effort, and allowances, and to compare the elements and processes with other systems to inform potential improvements and further refinements to California's reporting requirements and policies. The report should be of general interest to stakeholders in California's WC system and in other WC programs. |
