California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a bill requiring the use of the Medical Treatment Utilization Schedule to resolve treatment disputes through a medical provider network’s internal independent review process.
Senate Bill 914, by Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia, declares the MTUS guidelines promulgated by the Division of Workers’ Compensation should be used for MPN reviews. The bill also deletes language requiring the use of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine’s treatment guidelines for network reviews.
Brown signed the bill July 22.
