The Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) posted on its Web site the informal working draft rules concerning medical reimbursements for professional services and workers’ compensation specific services.
These informal working draft rules are to be proposed in order to remain consistent with the provisions of Labor Code sections 413.011 and 413.012.
Comments on the informal working draft rules will enable the DWC to propose formal rules to more effectively regulate the workers’ compensation system.
Comments on the informal working draft rules are not comments on any formal rules. System participants will have the opportunity to comment on formal proposed rules after the rules are published in the Texas Register.
The informal working draft rules are posted at: www.tdi.state.tx.us/wc/rules/planning/drafts.html
Written comments can be submitted to the DWC via e-mail to InformalRuleComments@tdi.state.tx.us by 5 p.m. on Aug. 10, 2007.
