Bill	Workers' compensation.	(1) Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries sustained in the course of his or her employment. Existing law generally provides for the reimbursement of medical providers for services rendered in connection with the treatment of a worker's injury, and requires an employer to establish a medical treatment utilization review process, in compliance with specified requirements. Existing law provides for an independent medical review process to resolve disputes over a utilization review decision for injuries occurring on or after January 1, 2013, and for any decision that is communicated to the requesting physician on or after July 1, 2013, regardless of the date of injury. Under existing law, as part of its notification to the employee regarding an initial utilization review decision that denies, modifies, or delays a treatment recommendation, an employer is required to provide the employee with a one-page form prescribed by the administrative director, and an addressed envelope, which the employee may return to the administrative director or the administrative director's designee to initiate an independent medical review. Under existing law, an employer is required to include on this form any information required by the administrative director to facilitate the completion of the independent medical review. Existing law specifies the required contents of the form.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20132014	AB 2732	California AB 2732 (20132014)	bill	Workers' compensation.	enacted	Committee on Insurance	6	24	6	2014-02-25	2014-08-19	openstates	ocd-bill/1f0a2a8f-6a7d-4b8f-9449-885ea0d63311	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB2732	9178787ca2ec6103ed8b90ce91dfa0e1fd29609dc83f19a1208ce267091a088e	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
