Section 16-23-99 - Concurrent treatment
Current through August, 2024
(a) Concurrent treatment by more than one health care or alternative care provider may be allowed if the attending health care provider determines the claimant's injury involves more than one body system, and requires multidiscipline care, or is so severe or complex that services of more than one health care or alternative care provider are required.
(b) Whenever a request for concurrent treatment is submitted, the insurer shall respond within five working days after postmark of such request, giving authorization or stating in writing the reason for refusal to each attending health care provider and the claimant. Any such refusal shall be filed concurrently with the commissioner. Failure by the insurer to respond within five working days after postmark of the request shall constitute approval of the request.
