What must occur when an employer receives a medical report not sent to the commission?

When an employer receives a medical report that has not been sent to the Workers' Compensation Commission, it is important for the employer to adhere to specific protocols regarding the handling of that report. The correct action is to send the report to the commission within 10 days. This ensures that all relevant medical information is accurately documented, allowing the commission to assess the claim appropriately and make informed decisions regarding the benefits and entitlements of the injured worker.

Sending the report promptly helps maintain the integrity of the claims process and ensures that both the employer and claimant are in compliance with the requirements set forth by the commission. This action also fosters transparency and upholds the rights of the claimant to receive due consideration for their medical condition and associated benefits.
