I have been asked to conduct a Reemployment Assessment. What are the requirements for doing one?
Under the Florida Workers’ Compensation Law, a “Reemployment assessment” means a written assessment performed by a qualified rehabilitation provider which provides a comprehensive review of the medical diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis; includes conferences with the employer, physician, and claimant; and recommends a cost-effective physical and vocational rehabilitation plan to assist the employee in returning to suitable gainful employment.” Within 30 days of conducting the assessment, you must issue a written report to the carrier, the injured worker, and the Bureau. The address for submitting the Reemployment Assessment to the bureau is: Department of Education Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Bureau of Rehabilitation and Reemployment Services 2728 Centerview Drive Suite 101A, Forrest Building Tallahassee, FL 32399-0400 Additional information may be found in Rule 6A-22.0032, Florida Administrative Code.
