What is the requirement for the final closure of a claim regarding non-orthopedic occupational disease claims?

Final closure of a claim regarding non-orthopedic occupational disease claims is allowed but without medical benefits. In the context of workers' compensation, when a claim reaches its final closure, it often means that the injured worker has received all applicable benefits or services that are due. For non-orthopedic occupational diseases, the nature of the claims can often lead to disputes about ongoing medical needs.

Without offering medical benefits at the time of final closure, it aligns with the regulatory framework that allows claims to be closed once the necessary compensations for lost time, permanent impairment, or specific treatments are exhausted. This understanding establishes a clear boundary for claims management, ensuring that while closure is possible, there is an acknowledgment that ongoing medical care is not provided as part of the closure process.

In this context, the other choices would not apply as they do not accurately reflect the conditions under which final closure can occur for these specific claims. Understanding these nuances is crucial for an adjuster managing cases related to occupational diseases.
