90-Day Benefit Review

Medical Case Managers work in liaison with the claimant and employer to process the 90-Day Benefit Review legal requirements.  The Medical Case Manager assists the claimant with the completion of the DWC form RU-91 (Employee’s Self Reported Description of Job Duties) and then forwards it to the employer for review and comment.  Upon completion, the RU-91 is forwarded with a DWC form RU-90 (Treating Physician’s Comments on Disability) to the treating physician for review and comment.  The RU-90 is then forwarded to the treating physician every 30-60 days until the injured worker’s vocational status is known.  The injured worker is apprised of their potential vocational rehabilitation benefits.
