Who is authorized to sign a RFA?
A. The requesting treating physician must sign a request for authorization. The doctor’s first report of occupational injury or illness, and the primary treating physician progress report each require a treating physician’s signature. If a physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner, acting within the scope of their license, sign the DLSR doctor’s first report of occupational injury or illness, or the primary treating physician progress report, the supervising physician must also sign it.
