  •      1. A provider of health care whose bill has been denied or reduced or is not paid in a timely manner may, within 60 days after receiving notice of the denial or reduction, or within 60 days after the payment was due, submit a written request to the Workers’ Compensation Section for a review of that action. The request must identify the billed item for which the review is sought and state the ground upon which the request is based.
