This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
(1) Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries sustained in the course of his or her employment. Existing law requires an employer to provide medical services to an injured worker and permits employers to enter into contracts for the provision of these medical services with a health care organization that has been certified by the administrative director for this purpose. Existing law relating to services provided by a health care organization provides for the predesignation of a physician by an employee, and requires employers who contract with a health care organization to notify an employee regarding the effect of his or her election to be treated by the health care organization. This bill would conform these provisions to those applicable to employers who have not entered into a contract with a health care organization for the provision of medical services, as specified. (2) Existing law requires each application for certification as a workers' compensation health care organization to be accompanied by a reasonable fee, prescribed by the administrative director, sufficient to cover the actual costs of processing the application. This bill would delete this requirement. (3) Existing law requires a health care service plan, disability insurer, workers' compensation insurer, third-party administrator, or any other entity determined by the administrative director to have met certain requirements, and that has been deemed to be a workers' compensation health care organization, to propose a timely and accurate method to meet the administrative director's requirements for all carriers of workers' compensation coverage to report necessary information, as specified. This bill would delete the specified description of the necessary information. (4) Existing law establishes the Workers' Compensation Managed Care Fund containing fees charged to certified health care organizations and applicants for purposes of funding the cost of administration of certification and to repay amounts received as a loan from the General Fund. This bill would delete the fund's purpose of funding the cost of administration of certification.
