Who receives a copy of the denial notice in a workers' compensation case?

In a workers' compensation case, the worker is the primary party affected by the claim and, as such, is entitled to receive a copy of the denial notice. This provides the worker with clear communication regarding the status of their claim and the reasons for its denial, which is crucial for understanding the next steps they may take, such as appealing the decision or seeking further clarification.

While it is important for the employer, the worker's attorney (if applicable), and medical service providers to be informed of the claim status, the core focus remains on the worker who has made the claim. Receiving this information empowers the worker to make informed decisions about their case and understand their rights within the workers' compensation system.
