Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features the CA DWC’s release of its 2022 Audit Unit annual report, which provides information on how claims administrators audited by the DWC performed and includes the Administrative Director’s ranking report for audits conducted in calendar year 2022.
Key audit findings detail the number of files audited, the number and type of violations cited, and the amount of any undisputed compensation found due and unpaid to the injured worker, and provide the name and location of each insurer, self-insured employer, and third-party administrator audited during the year. Performance of insurers, self-insured employers, and third-party administrators that are subject to profile audit review and full compliance audit is also rated according to the Administrative Director’s performance standards, with the AD’s Audit Ranking Report listing audited organizations in ascending order by performance rating.
