The rules, contained in Title 8, California Code of Regulations, sections 9792.6 et seq, also require UR plans to be filed with the DWC administrative director.
Additionally, the DWC has promulgated regulations that provide for penalties to apply when claims administrators and UR companies don't follow UR rules.
