Legally mandated timelines require workers' compensation insurance carriers to review and process medical bills within a specified window after receiving a complete billing statement and supporting medical records, typically ranging from 14 to 30 days depending on state regulations. However, processing times can be delayed if an insurer contests whether the medical treatment was reasonable, necessary, or directly related to the workplace incident. Once approved, payments are issued directly to the authorized medical providers.
