| Question: |
How do I file a protest to an order by the insurance carrier or self-insured employer? |
| Answer: |
Send a letter of protest to the Office of Judges' mailing address. Include the claimant’s name, claim number, date of injury, the date of the order you wish to protest, and a statement indicating your desire to file a protest. To insure the protest is acknowledged correctly, include a description of the action taken by the order (e.g. denying a physician’s request for an MRI, granting a 5% award, etc). Generally, your letter must be filed with the Office of Judges within 30 days of the date you received the order. You must provide copies of the letter to the opposing party (claimant or employer) or their respective attorneys, and the claim administrator. If you have any other requests (e.g., for a hearing before the Office of Judges), file those requests by separate letter. |
