San Francisco, CA – The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) has posted an update on improvements for submitting independent medical review (IMR) records.
Beginning with letters sent Monday, August 4, 2014, the Independent Medical Review Organization, Maximus Federal Services, will be including with each Notice of Assignment and Request for Information (“NOARFI”) a cover sheet with barcodes. This barcoded sheet will help ensure that documents submitted are associated with the appropriate IMR case quickly and with improved accuracy.
Parties responding to the NOARFI should include this barcoded sheet on the top of each document submission. An example of the barcoded sheet (PDF) is posted online.
DWC will continue to post updates and notifications regarding improvements in the IMR system on the IMR updates page.
