It's been ,20yrs since my case was closed.I am now in need of a spinal fusion.Do I need to reopen my case or does my medicare health insurance pay for my surgery. So confused.
You can't reopen the case, you're way past the 30 month statute of limitations.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Injured workers have the right to reopen their case within 30 months after an award is made if the disability increases, but
cases that are resolved by a lump-sum settlement contract approved by the Commission cannot be reopened. Only
settlements approved by the Commission are binding.
