DWD 80.72 Health service fee dispute resolution

process.

(3) JUSTIFICATION OF DISPUTED FEES. (a) In a case where liability or the extent of disability is in dispute, an insurer or self−insured employer shall provide written notice of the dispute to the health care provider within 30 days after receiving a completed bill that clearly identifies the provider’s name, address and phone number; the patient–employee; the date of service; and the health service procedure, unless there is good cause for delay in providing notice. In a case where liability or the extent of disability is not in issue, and a health care provider charges a fee which an

insurer or self−insurer refuses to pay because it is more than the formula amount, the insurer or self−insurer shall, except as provided in sub. (6) (b), mail or deliver written notice to the provider within 30 days after receiving a completed bill which clearly identifies the provider’s name, address and phone number; the patient−employe; the date of service; the health service procedure; and the amount charged for each procedure.
