DWC proposes rule on medical billing complaints

DWC is accepting public comments on a proposed rule amending 28 TAC Section 180.2 to ensure that no health care provider or agent can use DWC's complaint process to bypass the medical fee dispute resolution filing deadline in 28 TAC Section 133.307(c). The restriction does not apply to a health care provider submitting a complaint under Insurance Code Chapter 1305.
