OAR 436-120-0530: Director Review of Return-to-Work Plan

The director may review return-to-work plans and supporting information. If the director finds a return-to-work plan or its supporting information does not conform to these rules: (1) The director will notify the insurer and provider in writing of the preliminary finding of nonconformance. The notification will inform the insurer of changes or information required to bring the plan into conformance. (2) The insurer must, within 30 days of notification, make appropriate changes, supply additional information requested by the director, or explain why no change should be made. (3) If the insurer does not respond timely or is unable to bring the plan into conformance, the director will return the plan to the parties with notification that the plan does not conform to OAR 436-120 and may order the insurer to develop a plan that conforms to the rules.
