Current through February 24, 2025

Any person transacting a business of insurance who participates in the investigation, adjustment, negotiation, or settlement of a workers' compensation claim:

(1) may not require a claimant to travel unreasonably for medical care, rehabilitation services, or any other purpose;

(2) shall provide necessary claim forms, written instructions, and assistance that is reasonable so that any claimant not represented by an attorney is able to comply with the law and reasonable claims handling requirements;

(3) shall promptly make all payments or denials of payments as required by statute or regulation.

In 2010 the revisor of statutes, acting under AS 01.05.031, redesignated former AS 21.36.350 as AS 21.36.125(c). As of Register 196 (January 2011), the regulations attorney made a conforming technical revision under AS 44.62.125(b)(6), to the authority citation that follows 3 AAC 26.100, deleting the citation to former AS 21.36.350 to reflect that the authority citation already includes a citation to AS 21.36.125, the section where material formerly in AS 21.36.350 was relocated.

Authority:AS 21.06.090
