SUMMARY:

Workers' compensation; furnishing of medical records. Requires any health care provider attending an injured employee when referring or transferring the employee to another provider, to promptly, upon request, transfer within 10 days the medical records pertaining to the employee's injury for which further treatment is sought. Under the bill, if a succeeding provider repeats a test or procedure that had been conducted within the preceeding 60 days, the medical necessity for doing so must be certified by a qualified physician on behalf of the provider. Otherwise, the succeeding provider is not entitled to compensation or reimbursement, nor may he require the employee to bear any cost thereof.
