Medical Treatment - In addition to medical services of less than $1000.00 in value, most medical services covered by the Medical Treatment Guidelines (regardless of the cost) do not require medical authorization. For these types of services, the Health Provider may provide treatment and bill the insurer. If there is no response within 45 days of receipt of the bill, the Health Provider may file for an administrative award on Form HP-1. Certain treatments covered within the Medical Treatment Guidelines, such as complex surgical procedures, do require prior authorization. In addition to these treatment types, when medical services are $1000.00 or more in value and fall outside the Medical Treatment Guidelines, the Health Provider is to contact the insurer or self-insured employer for authorization. The Health Provider must also file Form C-4AUTH with the insurer or self-insured employer and the Board. If denying Medical Treatment Guideline services or medical services of $1000.00 or more in value, the insurer or self-insured employer is required to file Form C-8.1A and provide conflicting medical evidence.
