Regulator Think Tank (Room Islander I)

Regulatory action and the policy trends on regulators’ minds impact all corners of workers’ compensation. Hear directly from regulators representing key states as they discuss the national issues capturing their attention today and those they forecast will soon require their involvement. Trending issues they may tackle — depending on an up-to-the-minute assessment of unfolding events — include changing employer/employee relationships, medical management, prescription formularies and opioids. Treatment guidelines, recent case law and employee versus independent contractor status are among other potential discussion points.
