Section I-1717 - Revocation or Termination of the Self-Insurer Privilege

A. Failure to comply with any of the rules or with any order of the Office of Workers' Compensation Administration within the time prescribed may be considered good cause for revocation or termination of self-insurer privilege, within the meaning of Louisiana Statutes. Noncompliance with the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act, in particular those relating to time and method of compensation payments, the furnishing of medical treatment and filing of accident and compensation reports and failure to pay any assessment, may likewise be deemed good cause. The office shall give written notice of such revocation or termination to the employer and/or his agent(s). The employer shall have 15 days from the date of mailing of the notice to request a hearing on the revocation or termination. Failure to request a hearing within the time prescribed shall result in the revocation or termination becoming effective 30 days from the date of mailing of the original notice. In no event shall any revocation or termination become effective prior to the date that a hearing on the question is scheduled. Such notice shall be served personally or by registered mail upon all interested parties.

B. It will be necessary for a self-insurer to notify the office if the status of the self-insurer is materially changed (individual ownership to partnership or to corporation, merger, etc.), at which time the new entity shall be required to qualify. In the event there is a change in majority ownership of a self-insurer, the self-insurer privilege granted to an individual self-insurer shall be at the discretion of the office.
