The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) has issued its notice of intent to re-adopt emergency regulation Section 46.3 (the medical-legal Emergency Regulation in response to COVID-19) to extend the effective date beyond the current expiration date of July 18, 2022 through October 17, 2022. The regulation addresses the ongoing need to allow physicians to continue to provide Telehealth evaluations and allow injured workers flexibility with evaluation locations.
