Personalized for You
Personalize government policy and PRIA will tell you what this bill means for your household, plus every other piece of legislation we track. PRIA reads each provision against your financial profile to show you exactly what matters to your wallet.
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
The law lets workers with job‑related lung or heart disease pick a specialist outside the state panel when the panel has fewer than 12 providers who can see you within 30 days. You may choose from doctors who contract with managed‑care or health insurers. If you or your health insurer pay up front, the employer or its insurer must reimburse you in full within 30 days. If they miss the deadline, the Administrator orders them to pay twice the unpaid amount. Employers’ normal approval rules still apply in other cases, and insurers must include a form that explains your right to pick a different doctor.
Starting October 1, 2025, temporary total disability pays 66 2/3% of your average monthly wage. If your claim is allowed, the first check goes out within 14 working days after the first disability certification, and then on a regular schedule. Pay stops when a doctor says you can do suitable work, when your employer offers suitable light‑duty work, or while you are incarcerated. Light‑duty offers must be confirmed in writing within 10 days and include similar location, hours, pay, and the same benefits. Doctors must list your disability period and limits and sign the form, and insurers may include a request‑to‑continue form with each check.
When a job insurer denies care, your doctor may take payment from you or your health or casualty insurer. For approved care, the work insurer only pays up to the lower of the state fee amount, the provider’s usual fee, or any contract rate. The special payment right for denied claims covers only care given before the first denial, and it does not cover hospitals. If you or your insurer paid and later win your hearing (or the work insurer accepts the claim), you must be repaid up to the allowed fee amount; any overpayment to a provider must be returned within 30 days. If a payer had to pay during an appeal and then wins, it may recover from your health or casualty insurer, and you must share any insurance documents and contact details after the appeal.
Notices and hearing papers may be sent by mail, by hand, or through an approved electronic filing system. A hearing officer can order an independent exam by a specialist, even if the doctor is off the panel, and the work insurer must pay for that exam. The Administrator may fine a provider, insurer, managed‑care group, or employer up to $250 for each violation of the listed rule.
These changes apply only to claims filed on or after October 1, 2025. Claims filed earlier stay under the old rules.
