A properly submitted medical bill is a request by a provider for payment of health care services that meets the following requirements:
(1) Submitted to the employer according to the applicable reporting and coding standards of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Studies, the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs, or the American Dental Association; and
(2) Accompanied by sufficient medical records or reports that the employer can determine the reasonableness and necessity of the treatment provided.
