The Kentucky Office of Workers' Claims as of Sept. 9 will no longer require insurers to file medical claim information, said Bill Emrick, OWC director.
Mr. Emrick said he was taking the step because the office at this point is unable to use the data, which included "every bill that was paid."
He said he suspected that collection of the information began because of dissatisfaction over statistical information collected by the National Council on Compensation Insurance that was thought to be "too dated."
