| 01. Purpose. The Industrial Commission of the state of Idaho seeks to promulgate a form for reporting information on claims involving only medical payments. This will allow for more timely entry of information into the database system from which statistical reports are generated, reduce the paper that the Commission currently receives, and is expected to reduce the cost of reporting for sureties, employers and the Commission.
02. Authority and Definitions. Pursuant to Sections 72-602, 72-701, 72-702, 72-703 and 72-704, Idaho Code, the Industrial Commission of the State of Idaho promulgates this rule governing the procedure for submission of information regarding claims that involve the payment of medical expenses only. This procedure applies to all medical-only workers' compensation claims. The following definitions shall be applicable to this rule:
b. Employer is defined in Idaho Code Section 72-102(11) and, for the purposes of this rule, includes sureties and adjusters. c. Claimant means a worker who is seeking to recover benefits under the Workers' Compensation Law. 03. Procedure for Submitting Information. In order to comply with Idaho Code Section 72-602(4), Form IC-2 shall be submitted to the Commission in substantially the same form as set forth below. This form shall be submitted to the Commission semi-annually, within forty-five (45) days after the last day of the six (6)-month reporting period. 04. Report Form and Content. The form, denoted IC-2. 05. Electronic Reporting. Employers wishing to report electronically shall sign a written information sharing agreement with the Commission. This agreement will provide the effective date to send and receive electronic reports, the acceptable data to be sent and received, the method of transmission to be used, and other pertinent elements. The agreement must be signed by the employer and approved by the Commission prior to initial data submission. To ensure the accuracy of reported data, the Commission may make periodic audits of employer files. |
