Notice: The Indiana Worker’s Compensation Board has issued guidelines for the use of Nurse Case Managers (“NCM”) in the administration of compensation claims. A NCM may be involved in a claim to schedule appointments, help facilitate care suggested by the medical provider, and to report back to the employer and/or carrier. However, a NCM should not express opinions, to either the injured worker or the medical provider, regarding an injured worker’s course of medical care or otherwise attempt to influence the process. Additionally, a claims adjuster should not attempt to direct the care provided to an injured worker by the authorized treating doctor. Notice: As of July 1, 2014, hospitals and hospital facilities are to be reimbursed at 200% of Medicare. See IC 22-3-3-5.2 (b) and IC 22-3-6-1 (j). Notice: As of July 1, 2014, Reimbursement for Repackaged Drugs has been limited. See IC 22-3-3-4.5. Notice: The Agreement to Compensation - SF 1043 form is now available via the Board's Forms Portal system. Currently, it is only to be used to file compliance copies of TTD or TPD agreements. PPI and PTD agreements must still be filed in hardcopy.

The new SF 2118 is clear, concise and, most importantly, relevant to how PPI awards are accurately calculated for approval. Adjusters will ultimately be required to use it, as well as the electronic versions of SF 1043 and 38911, in the upcoming year. However, the Board will give advance notice of this requirement.
Physicians will not be asked to complete this form but should use it as a guideline while dictating their own. We do encourage all interested parties to begin using this form, to which the physician's dictated report can be attached, as soon as practicable. Thank you for your consideration and support.
Notice: The Board is hereby and immediately requesting that all Agreement to Compensation (SF 1043), Notice of Suspension of Medical Benefits (SF 54217), Notice of Denial of Benefits (SF 53914) and Request for Additional Time (SF 48557) forms be proceeded by an electronically filed First Report of Injury (FROI). Failure to do so will result in the rejection of your form. This is an administrative ruling.
Notice: Please note that ALL balanced bill provider fee applications must be accompanied by the $60 filing fee. The presence of an existing application for adjustment of claim has no bearing on this mandate. Balanced bill provider fee applications received since 7/1/2011 are subject to this fee and will not be processed unless accompanied by said payment.
