24.29.4322    TRANSITIONAL RULE FOR INJURY AND OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

(1) Reports must be filed on every indemnity claim that is not closed prior to January 1, 1995. The triggering event for reporting on those claims is the same as in ARM 24.29.4321.

(2) First reports of injury do not have to be resubmitted for indemnity claims if the first report of injury was filed with the department before January 1, 1995. Subsequent reports that would have been due prior to January 1, 1995, do not need to be submitted.

(3) Claims filed before January 1, 1995, that do not involve compensation benefits, the so-called "medical only" claims, are not subject to the subsequent report reporting requirements unless and until compensation benefits are paid on the claim.
