Purpose


The proposed rule amends Rule Chapter 69L-3, F.A.C., as follows: revisions are made to the rule chapter’s title list; the defined term “Claims-handling Entity” is replaced by the defined term “Claim Administrator”; the term “carrier” is replaced by the term “insurer;” revisions are made to websites, e-mail addresses and the phone numbers used to contact or make reports to the Division of Workers’ Compensation (“Division”); language is added to clarify that the filing of paper documents requires the express permission of the Division and that such provisions do not supersede the electronic filing requirements found under Chapter 69L-56, F.A.C. The proposed rule also deletes obsolete language and a related form. The proposed rule includes additional technical changes and is renumbered accordingly.
