If you get medical benefits for a time, these benefits can be discontinued if there is medical evidence that you no longer need treatment or your treatment is not necessary and reasonably related to your injury.
The insurance carrier must provide evidence from your own medical doctor, from your medical records or from an Independent Medical Examination IME to support discontinuance of your medical benefits. You may request an informal conference to challenge a discontinuance of benefits by filing a Form 6 request for hearing.
The dispute resolution process begins upon receipt of a Notice and Application for Hearing also called Form 6 , or comparable written notice, from the injured worker or the insurance adjuster, or their legal representatives, and in some instances, a medical provider.

This office does not request medical records from medical providers or otherwise gather evidence for the parties.
It is the responsibility of each party to gather and file with the Department and the opposing party or its representative copies of the medical records and other documents relied upon in the informal resolution process.
