Work group advances redline working document, asks staff for edits and expert testimony
Summary
Members reviewed a redlined process document for psychological‑condition treatment and disability applications, asked staff to integrate comments, and scheduled workers' compensation experts and additional treatment providers to appear at the next meeting. PIA actuarial modeling was confirmed as ongoing.
The work group reviewed a redlined 'working document' intended to clarify the sequence of reporting, treatment, and benefit application steps for psychological conditions. Staff and subgroup chairs asked members for approval to incorporate suggested edits and to continue vetting the document through subcommittee work.
Tori and Amy (staff representatives) walked through suggested changes to the ordering of steps—moving initial report of injury and employer engagement earlier in the workflow, clarifying when salary and benefit continuation begins, and outlining the monthly reporting requirement for treatment providers. Members agreed to direct staff to integrate the redline edits unless there are substantive objections, and they scheduled workers' compensation representatives and residential treatment provider representatives for the next meeting so the work group can evaluate treatment options and administrative mechanisms.
The meeting packet also confirmed PIA Actuarial Solutions will prepare a payroll contribution estimate to support subgroup deliberations on funding design; staff flagged an anticipated delivery timeframe in the meeting materials. The work group did not adopt final language but agreed to continue iterative redline review and to reconvene with additional expert testimony.
