- The health care provider submitted fewer than 250 medical bills for workers’ compensation treatment, services or products in the previous calendar year.
- A payer is exempt from the requirements to receive and pay medical bills electronically if the payer processed fewer than 250 medical bills for workers’ compensation treatment, services or products in the previous calendar year.
