The purpose of this proposed new rule is to inform claims administrators of notice requirements to employees when the payment of a compensable medical benefit will be apportioned, pursuant to Section 440.15(5), F.S. The proposed rule clarifies that claims administrators must provide employees with notification of decisions to apply apportionment. The proposed rule provides that compliance with the notice requirements is achieved by mailing Form DFS-F2-DWC-12 (Notice of Denial), or a letter to the employee explaining its apportionment decision to the employee, as specified. The proposed rule also clarifies that compliance with the notice requirements under proposed Rule 69L-3.017, F.A.C., does not satisfy the notification requirement under subsection 69L-7.602(5), F.A.C.
