CHAPTER 6 - CONTESTED CASE PROCEEDINGS

 

            Section 1.        Referral for Hearing.

 

            (a)        Upon receipt of a request for hearing, the Division shall immediately transmit a copy of the request and a notice of request for hearing to the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) or Workers' Compensation Medical Commission as appropriate.  For purposes of judicial review of agency inaction under W.S. § 16‑3‑114(a), the Division is deemed to have denied any timely, written request for a hearing pursuant to W.S. § 27‑14‑601(k)(iv) when it has failed to transmit a notice of request for hearing within 30 days after receipt of the request.

 

                        (i)         For purposes of referring contested cases to the Workers' Compensation Medical Commission for hearing, W.S. § 27‑14‑616(b)(iv), the phrase "medically contested cases" shall include those cases in which the primary issue is:

 

                                    (A)       a claimant's percentage of physical impairment;

 

                                    (B)       whether a claimant is permanently totally disabled;

 

                                    (C)       whether a claimant who has been receiving TTD benefits remains eligible for those benefits under W.S. § 27‑14‑404(c); or,

 

                                    (D)       any other issue, the resolution of which is primarily dependent upon the evaluation of conflicting evidence as to medical diagnosis, medical prognosis, or the reasonableness and appropriateness of medical care.

 

            Section 2.        Establishment of Fees for Members of Medical Commission.  Members of the medical commission established pursuant to W.S. § 27‑14‑616 shall be compensated at the rate of $150 per hour for their professional services on behalf of the commission, including necessary travel time.  In addition, members of the commission shall be reimbursed for necessary travel expenses to the same extent and upon the same conditions as Wyoming State employees are reimbursed under the rules and regulations of the State Auditor.

 

            Section 3.        Small Claims.  If the Division requests that the matter be resolved as a small claims hearing, the Notice of Referral shall include the following notice:

 

            (a)       The Division determines that the amount at issue is less than $2,000 and does not involve an issue of the compensability of the injury.  The Division therefore requests that the matter be resolved as a small claims hearing as provided in W.S. § 27‑14‑602(b)(i).

 

            (b)       The purpose of a small claims hearing is to provide expedited review by a hearing examiner.  In a small claims hearing, the Division will not pay a claimant’s attorney, nor will the Office of the Attorney General represent the Division.


 

(c)             If any party objects to a small claims hearing request within 15 days of the notice, the hearing examiner will decide whether a small claims hearing or a contested case hearing is appropriate.
