Kentucky House Bill 502 was introduced, proposing changes to workers’ comp law that would clarify when the 30-day deadline for insurers to pay medical bills and the 45-day deadline for providers to submit statements begins.

Under the proposed legislation, these timeframes would start only after a claim is accepted as compensable or deemed compensable by an administrative law judge. This amendment ensures clear accountability, prevents unnecessary payment delays by insurers, and provides medical providers with defined timelines to submit bills, reducing confusion and streamlining the claims process.
