New Activity Prescription Form for providers
June 22, 2009.
Beginning August 1, 2009 health-care providers who treat crime victims need to complete the Crime Victims Insurer Activity Prescription Form (APF) (F800‑107‑000) when treating patients.
This new form, which is intended to quicken service and payment to both victims and providers, replaces 3 other forms:
- Time Loss Notification.
- Supplemental Medical Report.
- Physician Final Report.
The APF integrates medical information on crime victims' conditions, restrictions, and prognoses, and is intended to improve communication between health-care providers, insurers, and crime victims.
Simplified billing for providers
June 3, 2009.
Beginning July 1, 2009, health-care providers who treat both injured workers and crime victims can bill both programs using the same number: your workers' compensation provider number.
Simplified Provider Registration & Billing.
