I am an out-of–state vocational rehabilitation practitioner who has been asked to handle a Maryland Workers’ case. Am I required to be qualified through the Commission?
Yes. Although you are an out-of–state practitioner, you are handling a Maryland workers’ compensation case. You must qualify and register at the Commission. Rehabilitation practitioners demonstrating that they are providing vocational rehabilitation services to less that 3 injured workers per year can be waived the three-year registration requirement and paying the $150.00 application fee.
