Second Review Reason to dispute incorrect reimbursement |
Claims administrator incorrectly denied reimbursement. Per CCR §9795, ML200 is a valid code with a Relative Value of 31. Missed appointments are reimbursable when the injured worker fails to appear for the evaluation appointment. ML200-95 payment due: $503.75. In addition to payment, penalties and interest are now due. |
