Are Workers Compensation Managed Care Arrangements limited to using only one provider network or plan of operation?
Workers’ Compensation Managed Care Arrangements may be authorized by the Agency for Health Care Administration to use more than one plan of operation or managed care provider network. This can be accomplished either by requesting approval for more than one plan of operation as part of the initial application process or by requesting approval of one or more alternative plans of operation in addition to the original previously authorized plan of operation. However, effective 10/1/2001, employers are no longer required to provide medically necessary treatment solely through a managed care arrangement. Further clarification may be obtained from the Agency for Health Care Administration at (850)922-6481. • Reference: Section 440.13 and 440.
