Vocational Rehabilitation disputes: Parties with a
dispute regarding vocational rehabilitation services
only can file a Vocational Rehabilitation Dispute form
(VR04) for expedited resolution. The parties must file
the form electronically via the Commission’s Online
Services; there is no paper version.
To access
the Vocational Rehabilitation Dispute form VR04, log
into Online Services and choose File Forms, selecting it
from the list. The VR04 cannot be used to file other
issues. If an emergency hearing is needed for other
issues you must file a Request for Emergency Hearing
form H26R.
Upon receipt of the Vocational
Rehabilitation Dispute form, the Duty Commissioner shall
contact the parties by telephone the next business day
following submission of the form. Parties are required
to provide current telephone numbers on the form and
shall be available the next business day following
submission of the form. If the Duty Commissioner is
unable to resolve the dispute, a hearing will be
scheduled within 5 business days.

HB1484 – Medical Benefits – Payment of Medical
Services & Treatment was passed during the 2017
Legislative session and becomes law October 1, 2017.
Changes to L&E § 9-660 now require a healthcare provider
who provides medical services to a covered employee to
submit the bill for services rendered to the Employer or
Insurer within 12 months from the later of the date the
treatment was provided; the claim for compensation was
accepted by the Employer or Insurer; or the claim for
compensation was determined by the Commission to be
compensable.
In addition, the Employer or Insurer
may not be required to pay a bill submitted after the
time period unless the healthcare provider files an
application for payment with the Commission (the C-51)
within 3 years from the later of the date the treatment
was provided to the covered employer; the date the claim
for compensation was accepted by the Employer or
Insurer; or the claim for compensation was determined by
the Commission to be compensable. Under this provision,
the healthcare provider should use the Commission’s C51
form to file an application for payment with the
Commission after submitting the bill to the Employer or
Insurer. Any questions, please contact the Commission’s
Medical Office at 410-864-5320.
