90- 351 C.M.R. ch. 8, § 2
Current through 2024-51, December 18, 2024
In cases in which the employee's claim is only for medical expenses, the employer may file a single Notice of Controversy for purposes of contesting all present and future claims for medical expenses accrued until the Board enters an order resolving the Notice of Controversy. A copy of this Notice of Controversy must be sent to health care provider if the reasonableness of the health care provider's bill is being contested. Except as provided in W.C.B. Rule Ch. 5, the employer is not required to file a Notice of Controversy contesting a claim for medical expenses if there is already a pending Notice of Controversy indicating a dispute on the employee's claim for compensation for the same date of injury.
