UR Denials: Anger Among Injured Workers Up 500-Fold?

March 23, 2005
Source: WorkInjury.com

In a very insightful posting related to our previous article about the ethical obligations of an applicants' attorney whose client makes a threat of violence (click here to read that article), the treating psychologist on that case puts a human face on what the new, restrictive utilization review procedures -- and subsequent denials -- are having on injured workers.

Required reading for all those in the field, whether carrier, applicant or defense oriented. Perhaps this posting should be sent to Andrea Hoch, Arnold and the legislators?

[In another posting, immediately after the one cited above, we get another very well reasoned perspective regarding all the hoopla over SB 899 and pointing blame.]
