Reminder: Requests to Reprocess Denied COVID-19 Claims Due by June 14

Senate Bill 22 created a presumption that a COVID-19 injury or death is work-related for certain first responders if certain conditions are met.

The bill allows these first responders or their beneficiaries, who had their COVID-19 claim denied by the insurance carrier, to request that the insurance carrier reprocess the claim. 

Covered employees or their beneficiaries must request that the insurance carrier reprocess the claim by June 14, 2022.
