Division proposes changes

The Florida Division of Workers' Compensation submitted a Notice of Change for Chapters 69L-7 and 69L-8 of the Florida Administrative Code.  The changes to the proposed rules are being made to address public comments and comments submitted by the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee.  Completion instructions for incorporated forms DFS-F5-DWC-9-A, DFS-F5-DWC-9-B, and DFS-F5-DWC-9-C are changed to clarify the dates of use for the ICD-9 and the required use of the ICD-10 upon federal implementation.  The proposed rules also include certain technical changes.

The official Notices of Change appeared in the Volume 41, Number 216 of the Florida Administrative Weekly, published on November 5, 2015.  If you have questions about the Notices, please contact Pam Macon, Chief, Bureau of Monitoring and Audit, Division of Workers' Compensation at (850) 413-1708 or Pamela.Macon@myfloridacfo.com.
