  • Peer Review

    Here’s an update on the current status of peer review.   Dr. Nudelman retired from the Board-approved peer review list and the Board has not replaced him but they are working on finding a replacement.  So what do you do if you have a peer review issue?

    If it is a fee schedule issue, Martine Schweitzer at the State Board of Workers’ Compensation, can help.  Send your request in the mail to Martin Schweitzer at the Board’s address, include with your request, the original bill, EOB and a brief letter stating the issue/complaint.  If you have contact information , such as who you spoke with and their phone number or email address, please provide.

    Please remember that contractual issues are not under the Board’s jurisdiction.

    I will keep you advised as changes occur.

  • Title...Forums and Threads

    Have you been participating in the Forums on the RMI Training website?  What a great source for information.  Do you have an issue that you need help with? Or a question such as "Are you required to pay the emergency room treatment when you specifically requested a drug test and it wasn't done?" This was a question recently posted in the Forum on the website and the responses came flooding in.  We have a wealth of knowledge involved within this program, and this is a fantastic resource. 

    Even if you don't have a question, check the Forum frequently because you may have an answer that will help someone else.

    We have one more CWCP Class this year on October 19th.  Hopefully all of the attendees are busy completing their course work.
